The United States could see a resurgence of mpox in the coming months, on the heels of spring and summer gatherings, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cautioned in a health alert released Monday (May 15).
About this time last year, mpox (previously called monkeypox) cases cropped up in dozens of countries where the infection hadn't historically spread. This prompted the World Health Organization to declare the global outbreak a "public health emergency of international concern."
