USA: If confirmed, the adult death from monkeypox in Harris County would be the first of its kind in the US. Texas health officials are investigating the possibility.

According to a statement from county officials, the cause of the patient's death is currently unknown. Harris County Public Health is working with partners to find out whether monkeypox, if any, contributed to this person's demise.

According to the county, autopsy results will be available in a few weeks. According to officials, the patient had several serious ailments and was "severely immunocompromised".

Although the monkeypox virus can cause painful sores and sores throughout the body, it does not usually cause life-threatening complications. But people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to dangerous infections.

In the US, which has the most cases of monkeypox worldwide with more than 18,000, no deaths have yet been reported.

The outbreak, which has spread to 99 countries since May, has caused 15 deaths.

According to US statistics, most have occurred in African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and the Central African Republic.

According to the World Health Organization, the virus that causes this outbreak currently has a mortality rate of less than 1%.

Although very few cases have been reported outside this population, the virus can also be spread through direct contact with any type of wound. The outbreak has so far mainly affected men who have sex with other men and spread through close, intimate contact.

Siga Technologies Inc. offers Tpoxx, an antiviral drug, to people who are more likely to develop serious illness or who have severe symptoms.

Those most likely to be exposed to the virus should get the Genios vaccine from Bavarian Nordic A/S, which the US is working to supply by investing in domestic dose production.
