The first Monkeypox death occurred today in the United States.
The person was an immunocompromised adult living in Houston, Texas.
While the mortality rate for monkeypox is low, the news adds a new level of concern. As of this recording, there are 279 cases in San Diego, but still a shortage of vaccines.
Dr. Brad Perkins is the chief medical officer at Karius, a non-invasive blood test that can be used to detect Monkeypox. He’s also a former official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
