Preparation of mpox isolation ward at a hospital in Karachi

epa11557911 Hospital staff prepare an isolation ward for mpox patients, at a hospital, in Karachi, Pakistan, 21 August 2024. Health officials in Pakistan have confirmed that a recent case of mpox is classified as Clade 2b, distinct from the Clade 1b strain currently spreading in Africa. The World Health Organization has declared the rise in mpox (monkeypox) cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighboring countries a public health emergency, with over 27,000 cases and more than 1,100 deaths reported since January 2023. Symptoms include fever, body aches, and rashes, and while there is no specific treatment for mpox, supportive care can aid recovery. The virus spreads through close contact with infected individuals and can persist on contaminated surfaces. EPA/SHAHZAIB AKBER
