Mpox

Mpox is a rare disease that is caused by infection from the mpox virus. The mpox virus is in the same family of viruses as smallpox, but it is less transmissible and typically less severe than smallpox. Mpox is a public health concern because it can be transmitted person-to-person and can cause severe ilā€‹ā€‹ā€‹lness and even death.
