Nepal confirms second case of Monkeypox

The 35-year-old’s case is the second instance of monkeypox in Nepal since the first confirmed infection in June of the previous year.

Kathmandu: Nepal has confirmed its second case of monkeypox after a 35-year-old male migrant worker, who had recently returned from Saudi Arabia, tested positive for the virus. 

The patient, whose symptoms resembled those of monkeypox, was tested at the National Public Health Laboratory in Teku, according to an official at the Ministry of Health and Population.

The individual is currently being treated at Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital in Teku, where his condition is reported to be stable. 

Health authorities have assured the public that the patient is under close observation and receiving appropriate care.

The 35-year-old’s case marks the second instance of monkeypox in Nepal since the first confirmed infection in June of the previous year. The first case involved a 60-year-old foreigner who tested positive for the virus.

Monkeypox is a viral disease that typically causes symptoms such as fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes. It can spread through direct contact with an infected person’s skin lesions, respiratory droplets, or contaminated materials.

According to officials at the health ministry, authorities are working to trace anyone who may have come into contact with the patient to prevent further transmission.
