Sweden has reported the first confirmed case outside Africa of the more deadly mpox variant that sparked the World Health Organization to declare a global public health emergency a day earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The person was infected during a stay in a part of Africa affected by the mpox outbreak, a statement from the Public Health Agency of Sweden said today. &#8220;This case does not warrant any further infection control measures per se, but we take the outbreak of mpox clade I very seriously. We are monitoring it closely and continuously assessing whether new measures are needed,&#8221; Magnus Gissl\u00e9n, Sweden\u2019s state epidemiologist said.<\/p>\n<p>The European Centres for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) will issue a new risk assessment on mpox soon, the public health agency said. In the meantime, we could see more \u201cisolated import cases,\u201d it added. Clade I of mpox is associated with more severe illness and higher fatality rates than clade II, which was widespread during the 2022 outbreak that affected Europe and North America. Clade I also appears to affect children more.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Hunter, a professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia, told Times Radio today that clade I was &#8220;almost certainly&#8221; in the U.K. already. Clade I is spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighboring countries \u2014 prompting the WHO to declare a public health emergency of international concern on Wednesday. According to WHO, the first known case of sexually transmitted mpox clade I in the DRC was a resident of Belgium who was likely exposed to the virus there. Researchers later found no evidence that clade I was circulating in Belgium, however.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/sweden-first-case-mpox-clade-i-virus-africa\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/sweden-reports-first-case-of-more-dangerous-mpox-virus-outside-africa\/\">Sweden reports first case of more dangerous mpox virus outside Africa<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,15716],"class_list":["post-133081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-sweden-reports-first-case-mpox"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
