Abstract / Description
In July 2024, we reported information on the initial human mpox cases in Uganda. Genomic characterization of clinically suspected cases (July-December 2024) revealed cocirculation of several monkeypox virus clade 1b clusters and varicella zoster virus. Our findings highlight the need to refine differential diagnoses by molecular techniques and strengthen surveillance.
