= Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been supporting the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in responding to its largest surge of clade I mpox (MPVX) cases ever recorded. Since January 1, 2023, DRC has reported more than 20,000 suspect mpox cases and more than 1,000 deaths. Clade IIb mpox continues to circulate in the United States but at much lower levels. The 2022 global clade IIb mpox outbreak caused more than 97,000 illnesses around the world, including more than 32,000 cases and 58 deaths in the United States.
During this COCA call, presenters will give updates on the clade I outbreak in DRC and remind clinicians to be alert for cases of mpox in patients with recent travel to DRC. Presenters will discuss when to suspect a case of mpox, provide updates on the clinical management and prevention of clade II mpox, discuss the epidemiology of clade II mpox, and cite vaccination data. They will also discuss the commercialization of the JYNNEOS vaccine and outline the update to the expanded access Investigational New Drug (EA-IND) for Tecovirimat (TPOXX).
