The number of monkeypox cases in the United States has skyrocketed in recent days.
According to the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
The nation has already reported it
3846 confirmed cases of monkeypox,
It has become the country with the highest number of monkeypox cases in the world.
The CDC warns that pregnant women are among those who may be "at particularly high risk of facing serious consequences" from monkeypox. Dr John Brooks of the CDC said at a webinar hosted by the American Society for Infectious Diseases on Saturday: "There has been a case of a pregnant woman giving birth. Brooks said the baby did not appear to have contracted the disease from her mother, unlike previous outbreaks reported abroad.
CDC officials said the newborn was injected with immunoglobulin, an antibody therapy that the agency was licensed by the FDA to use during monkeypox outbreaks. "The newborn received IG preventive therapy and the mother and baby were safe." Dr. Brett Petersen of CDC speaks at the webinar.
But a CDC spokesperson did not respond to questions about where the cases of pregnant mothers were found.
As of Monday, 3,487 cases of monkeypox infection had been reported in 45 states across the United States, as well as dc and Puerto Rico, according to data released by the CDC. The total number of monkeypox cases in the United States is growing at a rate that exceeds that of Spain.
The WHO reported tuesday that Spain had the highest number of cases among all countries, with a total of 3,596. Just a few days ago, health authorities confirmed the first two cases of monkeypox in the United States.
