London —
The UK Health and Safety Authority (UKHSA) announced on Wednesday that the first case of the new mpox variant clade Ib had been detected in the UK, adding that the risk to the public remained low.
The clade Ib variant is a new strain that was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in August after an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo spread to neighboring countries in Africa. It's a virus.
The UK Health Agency (UKHSA) said a patient who had recently traveled to an affected African country was confirmed to be infected in London and was transferred to a specialist hospital.
UKHSA added that close contacts of this case are being followed up by UKHSA and partner organizations.
In addition to Congo, cases of mpox clade Ib have also been reported in Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Sweden, India, and Germany. This is a different form of the virus than Clade II, which spread globally in 2022 primarily among men who have sex with men.
Mpox is a viral infection that causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled lesions that are usually mild but can be fatal. Clade Ib is thought to cause more severe disease than clade II.
Both forms can be transmitted through close physical contact, including sexual contact.
British authorities said they would not provide further details about the patient, but the patient's contacts are being traced and will be offered testing and vaccinations as appropriate, and if they test positive. It added that further care will be provided if patients develop symptoms.
According to the latest WHO statistics, there have been more than 44,000 cases of mpox and suspected cases in Africa this year, with more than 1,000 deaths, mainly in Congo.
