KP Mpox tally reaches 19 amid signs of local transmission
Doctors say the last five Mpox patients in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had no foreign travel history, pointing to local spread as the provincial tally reaches 19.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Mpox tally has reached 19 this year after a new case in Chitral.
Doctors say the last five patients diagnosed last week had no foreign travel and appear locally infected.
Four cases were recorded in a single day last week, including a couple.
Of the latest diagnosed patients, three were admitted and two are in home isolation.
Officials warn that possible community transmission could make Mpox endemic without stronger surveillance.
