From MPR (Link: https://www.empr.com/home/news/cdc-urges-clinicians-to-remain-on-the-lookout-for-mpox-virus-infections/):
Among emergency department patients evaluated for an mpox-compatible rash, the prevalence of mpox is 1.5%, according to research published in the June 6 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
“Mpox continues to circulate among persons at risk for mpox, primarily GBMSM with sexual risk factors, and underscore the importance of educating persons at risk for mpox regarding behavioral risks and encouraging these persons to be vaccinated,” the authors write.
