New Hampshire reports an adult from Merrimack County with clade I mpox.

It has become part of a new multi disease pandemic...

Next steps in Mpox will be more new clades...more co-infections, more (aerosol/airborne) spread...

Very likely measles/Mpox skin problems getting mixed up...a global big mess !

Mpox in the DRC: a suspected case detected at N'djili international airport

March 2, 2025

Kinshasa, March 2 , 2025 (ACP).- A suspected case of Mpox on an individual in his forties was isolated on Friday at N'djili international airport in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), we learned on Sunday from a health source.

" Last Friday, February 26, a user of the N'djili airport platform came to the airport health service because he had noticed the presence of skin rashes on his body. We screened (evaluated) the individual and noted the presence of skin rashes on the head, trunk, hands and soles of the feet, evolving for three days, with the notion of fever ," Dr. Claude Taty, head of the border hygiene post (PNHF) at N'djili international airport, told the ACP.

A diagnosis of an Mpox alert was made, he indicated, before reporting that the health zone of the commune of N'sele was contacted and the individual assessed in the local hospital, Kinkole General Reference Hospital, the closest in the east of Kinshasa.

" After investigation, the alert was validated, the sample was taken and the result came back positive for Mpox ," said the doctor, head of the PNHF station.

According to him, the department was able to disinfect the premises where the patient had been received and a pre-list of contacts had been drawn up, with a view to monitoring by the surveillance team.

To this end, the PNHF was able to share information with the Airways Authority (RVA), a public operator managing the country's airports, with the aim of strengthening epidemiological surveillance at N'djili international airport.

Since July 2024, the date of the announcement of the Mpox epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 3 alerts had been raised in the N'djili airport platform, the most recent of which was a positive case, according to the doctor.

A specialized service of the Ministry of Public Health, the PNHF is responsible for ensuring health controls at the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

DJ, More Mpox cases= more variants/mutations...some of them may be "better" in (aerosol/airborne) spreading...

28 February , 2025

The Department of Health would like to urge the public to take extra care as the country records three laboratory-confirmed cases of mpox. The first case was confirmed on 21 February in a 30-year-old male patient residing in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng Province with a recent travel history to Kampala, Uganda. The patient was diagnosed with Clade I mpox virus, which is currently circulating in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda and has been reported in travellers returning to many locations around the globe.

The other two cases, a 30-year-old male and a 27-year-old female, also from Ekurhuleni, were detected through contact tracing and monitoring conducted by outbreak response teams. This highlights the importance of information sharing by primary cases for contact tracing. All three cases are now recovering and self-isolating at home. This increases the total cumulative number of positive cases from 25 to 28 cases, including three deaths since the outbreak in May last year.

These are the first positive cases of mpox recorded in South Africa this year, and the last case was recorded in September 2024. Globally, mpox continues to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) as per the declarations by both the World Health Organization and Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in August 2024.

DJ, Only some/a lot of Mpox may be sex-related, quite a lot may show up in hotelworkers cleaning beds/baths...

Mpox may be "out of the news"...only further worsening risks...
