In late July, the Director General of the World Health Organization declared the escalating global monkeypox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. A striking feature of this outbreak is that the vast majority of affected people in North America and Europe are gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.
Some men who develop monkeypox in the current outbreak have reported very painful ulcers on the genitals, on or in the anus/rectum, and in the mouth and/or throat. Fatalities so far have been very rare.
The latest CATIE News bulletin reviews data collected from cases mainly in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
