The identification of monkeypox, a rare smallpox-like illness, in several different countries over the past few weeks has attracted a large amount of attention. On 20th May 2022, the first monkeypox case was reported in Sydney in a man in his 40s who had recently returned from Europe. According to NSW Health, it was a GP who identified symptoms that appeared to correlate with the disease and arranged for urgent testing to be carried out. The man reportedly developed a mild illness several days after returning to Sydney from overseas travel and presented to his GP. As for current (at time of writing this article), there are total of 8 cases reported in Australia whereas about 1,000 cases worldwide.
On the side note, a huge thank you to those who had contributed in providing us with these recalls. Now let us do our part by solving these for you. You may get them from here.
