Thailand has reported a new Mpox case involving a European man who arrived from Africa last week. The patient, who entered Thailand on August 14, is suspected of having the more dangerous Clade 1 strain of Mpox, a form linked to recent outbreaks in Africa. Disease control officials in Thailand are currently awaiting test results to confirm the strain. In the meantime, they are treating the case as if it is Clade 1 due to the patient’s recent travel from an area where this strain is known to be circulating. Health authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
