A presumptive case of monkeypox is being investigated in King County, according to Public Health, Seattle and King County. “Locally, I want our public and healthcare providers to be aware of the growing international monkeypox outbreak.”
The assumed infection was identified Sunday and is presumed to be linked to the patient’s recent international travel to a country reporting confirmed cases of the virus.
“The CDC is aware of one confirmed and four other presumptive monkeypox cases in the U.S.,” Duchin continued. “All of a sudden, there’s been breakouts in 12 different countries around the world, sort of out of the blue, and they’re all seemingly unrelated. So that’s where the concern is coming from,” Dr. Gordon Cohen, pediatrician, told KIRO Newsradio.
“Just to compare it to COVID, this is far less transmissible, and hence why there have never been any widespread outbreaks,” Dr. Cohen added.
