There have been cases of mpox clade Ib reported in Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Sweden, India and Germany, as well as Congo. It is a different form of the virus from clade II, which spread globally in 2022, largely among men who have sex with men.Mpox is a viral infection that typically causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled lesions, and while usually mild it can kill.
