SPAIN - Spain and Brazil reported their first monkeypox-related deaths on Friday, marking what are thought to be the first fatalities linked to the current outbreak outside of Africa.
An official would not give the specific cause of death for the fatality pending the outcome of an autopsy. He "was receiving hospital treatment for other serious conditions", the state health ministry said in a statement. The disease has been detected in 78 countries, with 70 percent of cases found in Europe and 25 percent in the Americas, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday.
