Sept 8 (Reuters) - India had recorded a suspected case of mpox found in a man who recently travelled from a country suffering an outbreak of the virus, the health ministry said on Sunday.
The patient has been isolated in a hospital and is in a table condition, the ministry said.
The ministry did not specify which strain of the mpox virus the patient might have, but tests were being conducted to confirm the infection.
Mpox can spread through close contact. Usually mild, it is fatal in rare cases. It causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled lesions on the body.
