A detailed analysis of monkeypox case records published by the CDC offers new insight into the outbreak, which is disproportionately affecting men who have sex with men, especially those who are Black and Hispanic.

Case report forms with additional epidemiologic and clinical information were submitted to the CDC for 41% of those cases, though not all details were complete in all of those forms.Among the cases with available data, 94% were in men who reported recent sexual or close intimate contact with another man.
