A 49 year old man who traveled recently from Nigeria -- and landed in Mauritius -- is now in hospital in Port Louis, the capital. CIDRAP (again!) has the scoop, thus:
. . .Mauritius on October 26 announced its first mpox case, which involves a 49-year-old man who had traveled from Nigeria, according to a government announcement translated and posted by FluTrackers, an infectious disease news message board. The patient is being treated in isolation at a hospital in Port Louis.
The report didn’t note the clade of the virus. The country’s case brings the number of African nations reporting mpox cases this year to 19. . . .
Now you know. Onward -- to an otherwise wonderful week ahead. Grin.
