Case Report of Clade Ib Monkeypox Virus Infection Linked to Travel to Democratic Republic of the Congo, Thailand, 2024
We report clade Ib monkeypox virus infection in a patient who returned to Thailand from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the subclade epicenter. Improved diagnostic testing, public health response, and surveillance systems for mpox are needed in Thailand, and preexposure mpox vaccination should be considered, especially for high-risk persons.
