2022 U.S. Monkeypox Outbreak

CDC is closely tracking cases of monkeypox recently detected in the United
States. CDC urges healthcare providers in the U.S. to be alert for patients who
have rash illnesses consistent with monkeypox.

2022 U.S. Outbreak


MONKEYPOX SYMPTOMS

Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus.
Monkeypox virus is part of the same family of viruses as smallpox. Monkeypox
symptoms are similar to smallpox symptoms, but milder; and monkeypox is rarely
fatal. Monkeypox is not related to chickenpox.

Symptoms of monkeypox can include:

 * Fever
 * Headache
 * Muscle aches and backache
 * Swollen lymph nodes
 * Chills
 * Exhaustion

 * A rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appears on the face,
   inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet,
   chest, genitals, or anus.

The rash goes through different stages before healing completely. The illness
typically lasts 2-4 weeks. Sometimes, people get a rash first, followed by other
symptoms. Others only experience a rash.
