A suspected case of mpox has been reported in Kerala’s Malappuram district. A man, who recently returned from abroad, showed symptoms of the virus and was admitted to Manjeri Medical College. His samples have been sent to Kozhikode Medical College for testing. This comes after a confirmed mpox case was reported last week in Delhi, where a 26-year-old from Haryana tested positive. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern last month, given its spread across Africa. Mpox symptoms include fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes.
