Article Synopsis
- There is very limited data about mpox (a disease) during pregnancy, with only 65 cases reported globally since 1958, and 59 of those in the current outbreak.
- Pregnant women are more vulnerable to severe illness due to changes in their bodies, and African women seem to be at higher risk for complications.
- There are many challenges in diagnosing and managing mpox in pregnancy in Africa, including patients hiding their travel history and a lack of medical resources, so more support is needed to help these countries.
