• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Monkeypox, a rare disease caused by infection with Monkeypox virus, is endemic in several Central and West African countries. Cases in persons outside Africa are often linked to international travel or imported animals. What is added by this report? CDC is tracking multiple reported U.S. monkeypox cases, and monitoring cases in persons in countries without endemic monkeypox and with no known travel links to an endemic area; current epidemiology suggests person-to-person community spread. What are the implications for public health practice? CDC urges health departments, clinicians, and the public to remain vigilant, institute appropriate infection prevention and control measures, and notify public health authorities of suspected cases to reduce disease spread.
