Mpox case confirmed in northeastern DRC Ebola epicentre
Original: Mpox case confirmed in northeastern DRC city at the centre of the Ebola outbreak
Health authorities have confirmed a case of mpox in a city in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo that was previously the centre of the Ebola outbreak. The finding raises concern about overlapping disease outbreaks in a region with fragile health infrastructure. Officials are expected to step up surveillance and contact tracing to contain further spread of the virus.
Why now: A new mpox case in a city already known for a major Ebola outbreak heightens fears of multiple epidemics circulating simultaneously in the DRC.
