The first K-P monkeypox person who had monkeypox in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was last seen at his home in Mardan.
Sources say that the person, who had just come back from Saudi Arabia, was identified with monkey-pox.
As per the health department, the finding was started in Peshawar for the First K-P monkeypox person.
But when the medical team went to the patient’s house to give them advice, they found it locked.
When the patient’s home district health officer (DHO) in Dir was asked about him or her, the patient was not there either.
The ministry of health and other relevant officials are now stepping up their investigations and response efforts about the First K-P monkeypox person in Pakistan.
A new strain of the virus has been found, which has led the World Health Organization to call the current outbreak of the disease an international public health emergency.
There have been cases of mpox, which is also called monkeypox, in Pakistan in the past. It wasn’t clear right away which version was found in the patients.
Thursday, global health officials confirmed that someone in Sweden had been infected with a new strain of the mpox virus and linked it to an outbreak that is getting worse in Africa. This is the first sign that the disease is spreading outside of Africa, one day after the WHO called it a global public health emergency.
The WHO raised its level of alert to the highest level on Wednesday, saying that the outbreak in Africa was a public health disaster of international concern. This happened after cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo spread to countries nearby.
Since the outbreak started in January 2023, there have been 27,000 cases and more than 1,100 deaths in Congo. Most of the deaths were children.
The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus and can make some people very sick. It can give them a painful rash, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.
