The first victim of Monkeypox in the United States has been killed. Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported the first Monkeypox-related death in America. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also confirmed the victim's death due to Monkeypox infection. They said the patient was admitted to the hospital and had a compromised immune system. According to the authorities, no further information about the death will be released. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, an autopsy confirmed that the death had occurred. "Persons with severe immunocompromised should seek treatment as soon as possible and continue to receive care during their illness," stated. This is the first case of Monkeypox death in the United States. Although the end of a Texas patient with the disease was confirmed, the role of the virus in this has not been established. Monkeypox According to national statistics, around 22,000 cases have been confirmed or probable in the United States this year. Deaths from Monkeypox are rare. However, they often affect pregnant mothers, infants, and those with compromised immune systems, such as HIV-positive people. There were very few cases of Monkeypox in May; however, the global public health crisis is ongoing. The main transmission routes for Monkeypox are skin-to-skin contact and prolonged exposure to respiratory droplets. As a result, you may experience a rash, fever, chills, body aches, and even chills. A small percentage of the patients will need to be admitted, and there have been very few deaths from this illness. Monkeypox can often be self-limiting and lasts between 2 and 4 weeks - Even though there are severe cases, the rate of fatalities has been hovering between 3 and 6 percent in recent years.  According to the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, the California resident was hospitalized because of a weak immune system. The department stated that no further information regarding the death would be released. "Those with severe immunocompromised should seek treatment as soon as possible and continue to be under the care of a provider for their illness," the statement stated. MonkeyPox Monkeypox death is rare. It often affects babies, pregnant women, and those with weak immune systems, such as HIV. One person who contracted Monkeypox in Texas died last month. However, the role of the virus in this death is not confirmed. According to data from the US, there have been nearly 22,000 cases confirmed or probable of Monkeypox in the US. California has 4300 of the highest number of cases. There are currently 129 cases of the virus in Australia. Victoria is the largest, with 67 cases. New South Wales has 50. Only a few cases have been reported in South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory. Last week, World Health Organisation Director Tedros Adhanom Gebreyesus stated, "We are continuing to see a downtrend in Europe." "Reported cases from the Americas declined last week, but it is harder to conclude about the epidemic there. However, some countries in America continue to report increasing numbers of cases. However, in some cases, there is likely to be underreported due to stigma and discrimination or an absence of information for those most in need. Monkeypox can cause fever, fatigue, body aches, and swelling, among other symptoms. Red pimples may develop on the skin, including the lips, hands, feet, and genitalia.
