Summary
Nigeria has reported more than 200 confirmed cases since 2017 and more than 500 suspected ones, according to the WHO.“All of the imported cases outside of Africa that have occurred since 2018 have been from Nigeria,” said Dr. Agam Rao, a medical officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of High Consequence Pathogens and Pathology.The recent cases belong to the West African clade of monkeypox, which is relatively mild: Around 1 percent of people who contract it die, compared to 10 percent of percent with the Congo Basin clade, according to the WHO.The risk to the general population is low, Rimoin said, but the outbreak nonetheless shows that infectious diseases rarely stay in one location.“This is a very important reminder that an infection anywhere is potentially an infection everywhere,” she said.Aria Bendix is the breaking health reporter for NBC News Digital.JoElla Carman is the Data Graphics Interactive Visual Designer for NBC News Digital.© 2022 NBC UNIVERSAL
