São Paulo confirms about 60 mpox cases in 30 days
São Paulo confirmed about 60 mpox cases in 30 days, nearly one-fifth of the state’s total for 2026.
The state has recorded 300 cases and no confirmed deaths this year.
Mpox is a viral infection that can cause skin lesions and spread through contact with an infected person’s lesions, bodily fluids or contaminated objects.
Across Brazil, 665 cases have been recorded in 2026, 94% fewer than during the 2022 outbreak, when 10,821 cases were reported.
The recent rise in São Paulo cases matters because it points to more infections in the state over the past month.
Health officials advise people with suspected mpox to seek medical care and, if confirmed, isolate immediately.
Brazil’s Health Ministry has authorised the purchase of up to 20,000 vaccine doses through the Pan American Health Organization’s revolving fund.
