After the second case of mpox was reported from Karachi, the total number of mpox cases in Sindh this year has reached three.
According to Medical Superintendent Dr. Waheed Rajput, a 22 year old resident of Buffer Zone was admitted to the Infectious Disease Hospital NIPA yesterday, where this became the second reported case of mpox.
Dr. Waheed Rajput stated that no travel history of the affected individual has been found, and after confirmation of mpox, the patient has been shifted to isolation.
According to sources, earlier this year, two cases of mpox had already been confirmed in Karachi and Khairpur, while a patient from Khairpur is currently under treatment at Aga Khan Hospital.
It is worth mentioning that earlier this year, mpox was also confirmed in a 31 year old patient who had arrived from abroad.
