DOCX1 pages62 KB
The document outlines a community case definition for Mpox, describing the typical signs such as skin rash, fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, and weakness. It defines suspect cases based on exposure history and specific symptoms, while excluding common alternative diagnoses. Probable cases require additional epidemiological links, sexual exposure risk, or a positive orthopoxviral test. Confirmed cases are identified through laboratory confirmation using molecular PCR methods. These definitions support surveillance and public health response.
