• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Severe manifestations of mpox have occurred in the United States, particularly among persons with uncontrolled viral spread resulting from moderately to severely immunocompromising conditions. What is added by this report? Thirty-eight mpox-associated deaths occurred in the United States during May 10, 2022-March 7, 2023 (1.3 mpox-associated deaths per 1,000 cases). Most decedents were non-Hispanic Black or African American (87%) persons and cisgender men (95%). Among 24 decedents with HIV for whom data were available, all had advanced HIV, typically with a CD4 count <50. What are the implications for public health practice? Equitable and early access to prevention and treatment for both mpox and HIV is critical to reducing mpox-related mortality. [Description provided by NIOSH]
