In the first instance, acute childhood hepatitis of unknown origin is found, which spreads without being able to identify its form of transmission.  In addition there is also the <strong>monkey pox<\/strong> that at first it was believed that it was exclusive to men but today the one that could be the <strong>first case in a woman.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding this second disease, the first thing to clarify is that it is not new. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/es\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/monkeypox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>The first recorded case occurred in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.<\/strong><\/a>  (although back then it was called Zaire).<\/p>\n<p>Since then there have been several outbreaks that have been controlled.  What they all had in common is that they occurred in Africa.  For this reason, what has caused the most alarm is that <strong>first time in history it has spread to other regions of the planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that there is knowledge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfinanciero.com.mx\/salud\/2022\/05\/20\/viruela-del-mono-oms-confirma-80-casos-en-11-paises-donde-no-es-comun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>more than 80 confirmed cases in 12 countries although the number increases every day.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Given this scenario, this May 20, the highest health agency called an emergency meeting.

She currently remains isolated and undergoing treatment.  At the same time, the necessary clinical samples were already taken and sent to the Majadahonda National Microbiology Center.
