Four additional cases of monkey pox have been confirmed by UK health authorities. There are three cases in London and one case in northeast England.

The four new cases have no known associations with previous confirmed cases published on May 14 and other cases appearing on May 7.

The UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA) has launched an investigation to establish a link between the latest four cases, all appearing to have been infected in London.

The UKHSA said all four recent cases have been identified as gay, bisexual or other men who have had sex with men (MSM).

All patients in need of medical care are located at the Royal Free Hospital, the Royal Victoria Infirmary at Newcastle on Tyne and Guys, and the infectious disease ward at St Thomas.

Individuals have a weaker West African version of the virus compared to the Central African version.

This latest case means there are currently 7 cases of monkey chickenpox diagnosed between May 6 and 15 in the UK.

The most recent case comes days after two people living together in London were diagnosed.

The UK Health and Safety Agency (UKHSA) said the two live together in the same home and have no connection to a previously confirmed case in the UK, announced on 7 May.

One of these cases is being treated in the infectious disease unit at St Mary’s Hospital at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London.

The other is in quarantine and currently does not require hospital treatment, UKHSA said.

Health officials said they were investigating where and how the recent monkey chickenpox cases came from.

The UKHSA said it is contacting people who may have been in close contact with both cases to provide information and health advice.

“This is rare and rare,” said Dr Susan Hopkins, UKHSA’s chief medical adviser. We are investigating,” he said.

“We especially urge gay and bisexual men to be aware of any unusual rashes or lesions and to contact sexual health services without delay.

“We are contacting potential close contacts of the case to provide health information and advice.”

The first British monkey chickenpox case was recorded in September 2018. This individual was also believed to have contracted the infection in Nigeria.

It is usually a mild illness, and most people recover within a few weeks. However, serious illness can occur in some individuals.

Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, swollen lymph nodes, chills, and fatigue.

The rash often starts on the face and can also spread to other parts of the body, UKHSA said.
