California has reported a new case of mpox from the Clade I strain, distinct from Clade II outbreaks prevalent in the US since 2022.
The infected individual had recently traveled to Africa and is now isolating at home, linked to the ongoing outbreak of Clade I mpox.
While previous Clade I infections were severe, recent cases may not be as clinically severe as past outbreaks.
Mpox, while less harmful than smallpox, can still lead to significant illness, with potential fatality in vulnerable populations.
