The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned of the potential risk for the resurgence of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, this summer.
美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)警告说,今年夏天mpox(以前被称为猴痘)可能会卷土重来。
In the United States, cases of mpox have declined since peaking in August 2022, but the outbreak is not over, the CDC said in an official health update earlier this week, adding that "spring and summer season in 2023 could lead to a resurgence of mpox as people gather for festivals and other events."
美国疾病控制与预防中心本周早些时候在一份官方健康更新中表示:“在美国,自2022年8月达到高峰以来,猴痘病例虽有所下降,但并未结束,”并补充说,“随着人们聚集参加节日及其他活动,2023年春夏季可能会导致猴痘卷土重来。”
The alert to doctors across the United States came after a cluster of mpox cases were reported in the Chicago area.
在芝加哥地区报告了一组猴痘病例后,美国各地的医生发出了警告。
From April 17 to May 5, 12 confirmed and one probable case of mpox were reported to the Chicago Department of Public Health, according to the CDC.
据美国疾病控制与预防中心称,从4月17日到5月5日,芝加哥公共卫生部报告了12例确诊和1例疑似猴痘病例。
The nation's health protection agency noted it continues to receive reports of cases that reflect ongoing community transmission in the United States and internationally, encouraging vaccination for people at risk.
美国卫生保护机构指出,它不断收到反映美国和国际上正在进行的社区传播的病例报告,并鼓励高危人群接种疫苗。
As of May 10, 30,395 mpox cases had been reported in the United States, said the CDC.
美国疾病控制与预防中心说,截至5月10日,美国已报告30,395例猴痘病例。
