UK officials: 4 men infected with "rare" monkeypox in London - The Associated Press - en Español
LONDON (AP) — British health authorities say they have identified four “rare and unusual” cases of the disease monkeypox among men who appear to have been infected in London and had no history of travel to the African countries where the smallpox-like disease is endemic.
Last week, Britain reported three earlier cases of monkeypox, including two people who lived in the same household and the other who had previously traveled to Nigeria, where the disease is endemic in animals.The disease does not typically spread easily between people, but British health officials say it’s possible if there was extremely close contact with an infected person.
