Otoritas lokal di Guinea-Bissau telah melaporkan 46 kasus suspek dan tujuh kasus terkonfirmasi mpox menyusul deklarasi epidemi nasional pada 4 Juli. Wabah ini diumumkan secara resmi sedikit lebih dari seminggu setelah seorang wanita berusia 27 tahun menjadi kasus terkonfirmasi pertama di negara Afrika Barat tersebut.
Hampir dua bulan sejak wabah dimulai, para pejabat kesehatan membunyikan alarm atas tingginya proporsi pasien muda dan kemungkinan bahwa virus tersebut beredar tanpa terdeteksi. Anak-anak menyumbang separuh dari seluruh kasus yang dilaporkan, dengan 16 pasien berusia di bawah empat tahun.
