A presumptive diagnosis of monkeypox was made to rule out any case of smallpox.”

“A sample was then collected and sent to the NCDC National Reference Laboratory and the result tested positive for Monkeypox virus. The patient was admitted to Ebonyi State isolation center and is at present being managed for monkeypox and responding to treatment. A total of 7 contacts have been identified and highlighted and are currently being followed up.”

He said: “Active case search has been heightened across all the LGAs in the state to strengthen case finding. The signs and symptoms include fever, headache, generalized body pain, malaise, lymphadenopathy that is the swelling of the lymph node, sore throat, rash which appears 1 to 3 days after fever onset and the rash often begins on the face and then spread to limbs, trunks, genitalia, palms, and soles) and intense asthenia (lack of energy).”
