About Mpox

Mpox (formerly called monkeypox) is caused by infection with MPXV, which is related to the smallpox virus.

Most infections are mild, but in some cases, mpox can cause serious illness.

MPXV has evolved into different types of viruses, named clade I and clade II. Clade I is more likely to cause severe illness and death than clade II.
