The NCDC, via its verified website, disclosed this on Friday. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that when scientists investigate the spread of infectious disease, one area they look at is the genetic sequences of the pathogen.
That means that examining the sequences might be less fruitful in terms of tracking how the virus is spreading from person to person. There are fewer chances to the virus’ genome that might shine a light on transmission chains. But scientists have a different hypothesis about what these mutations say about these infections and, in turn, what that can illuminate about the outbreak.
“One death was recorded in a 40-year-old man with co-morbidity that was receiving immunosuppressive drugs. “In addition, from September 2017 to June 12th, 2022, a total of nine deaths have been recorded in six states – Lagos , Edo , Imo , Cross River , FCT and Rivers ,” it stated. NAN recalls that the descriptions of classic monkeypox disease describe a prodrome including fever, lymphadenopathy, headache, and muscle aches followed by the development of a characteristic rash culminating in a firm, deep-seated, well-circumscribed and sometimes umbilicated lesions.
