Monkeypox typically begins with a flu-like illness and swelling of the lymph nodes, followed by a rash on the face and body.
NEW YORK — Genetic analysis of recent monkeypox cases suggests there are two distinct strains in the U.S., health officials said Friday, raising the possibility that the virus has been circulating undetected for some time. in Europe, but a few samples show a different strain, federal health officials said. Each strain had been seen in U.S. cases last year, before the recent international outbreak was identified.
The CDC said it is trying to increase its work on finding infections, and it’s likely more cases will be reported. But last month, cases began emerging in Europe and the United States. Many — but not all — of those who contracted the virus had traveled internationally, and health officials in a growing number of countries are investigating.
