BUJUMBURA, July 26 (Reuters) - Burundi has reported three cases of mpox in its commercial capital and a nearby town, its health ministry said.
The cases of the viral infection, two in Bujumbura, and on Isare, about 30 km (18.64 miles) from Bujumbura, were confirmed after a local laboratory and the World Health Organization conducted tests, Lydwine Baradahana, the health minister, said in a statement late on Thursday.
