Title
Mpox Virus
Description
The mpox virus is in the same family as the variola virus, which causes smallpox. Like smallpox, mpox causes flu-like symptoms along with the outbreak of a rash with sores that blister. The incubation period is 3-17 days and is spreadable from the onset of symptoms until the rash has fully healed. New data in February 2023 has shown that some people can spread mpox a few days prior to the onset of symptoms.
