Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with human monkeypox infection in Zhejiang Province, China, 2023
The monkeypox epidemic is in a state of transmission and prevalence in some areas of Zhejiang Province. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain very close surveillance. A significant majority of laboratory-confirmed mpox cases were identified among men who have sex with men (MSM). Tailored interventions, including mpox-specific symptom monitoring, health education, must be urgently implemented for MSM populations in high-transmission settings.
