According to the report from the Department of Health (DOH) has recorded two more cases of mpox (formerly monkeypox) –one each in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Calabarzon – bringing the total active cases to five. In a news release, the DOH said both cases have the milder MPXV clade II, consistent with earlier findings of local transmission of the variant. Details on the intimacy of the skin-to-skin contact are still being verified.
The country has logged a total of 14 cases since July 14, 2022. Nine cases have long recovered since 2023 while five are active cases with symptoms being treated. Mpox case 13 is a 26-year-old female from NCR whose symptoms started Aug. 20. "She noticed rashes on her face and back accompanied by fever. One day later, she consulted at an outpatient clinic, which advised her to undergo home isolation," the DOH said.
The patient said that on August 23, she told the clinic that there were additional rashes in her pubic area, arms, and trunk. She also developed a sore throat and swollen neck lymph nodes.
Mpox can be transmitted to humans through close, intimate contact with someone infectious, with contaminated materials like used clothes or utensils, or with infected animals.
The Ph laboratory research department is now testing for the mpox medicine which will take two to three days testing.
