The Independant Symptoms include skin rash with blisters, spots or ulcers that can appear anywhere on the body, as well as fever, headache, backache and muscle aches. A new strain of mpox – the virus formerly known as monkeypox – has been found in England, scientists have said.
The disease, which is transmitted by close contact with sufferers, including sexual contact, as well as through coughs and sneezes, causes flu-like symptoms.
The symptoms include chills, aches, exhaustion and eventually a rash that can form blisters.
The new strain was found in a person who had recently travelled to Asia, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed, with experts saying the case is the latest evidence for how the virus is circulating globally and evolving.
