Las autoridades locales de Guinea-Bisáu han informado de 46 casos sospechosos y siete confirmados de mpox tras la declaración de una epidemia nacional el 4 de julio. El brote se anunció oficialmente poco más de una semana después de que una mujer de 27 años se convirtiera en el primer caso confirmado del país de África Occidental.
Casi dos meses después del inicio del brote, las autoridades sanitarias dan la voz de alarma ante la alta proporción de pacientes jóvenes y la posibilidad de que el virus circule sin ser detectado. Los niños representan la mitad de todos los casos notificados, y 16 de los pacientes son menores de cuatro años.
