This marks California’s latest reported case of the rare virus, which is a milder version of smallpox.
“We encourage medical providers to be on the lookout for monkeypox infections, which develop with a characteristic rash,” Dr. Monika Roy, Communicable Disease Controller and Assistant Health Officer, said in a news release.
The county’s news release added that gay and bisexual men are being “disproportionately affected by this virus in our region”, though it did not provide further explanation. The overall risk of monkeypox to the general population is low, according to health officials. Symptoms of the virus are similar to but milder than those of smallpox, including fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes and exhaustion. Those symptoms are accompanied by a distinctive rash or sores that often show up on an individual’s face and spreads to other areas of the body, according to the CDC. The illness typically lasts for 2 to 4 weeks and most recover.
