Gerade gefunden. Der Todesfall in Spanien ist offenbar auf eine Encephalitis zurück zu führen.

At least 120 Monkeypox carriers have required hospitalisation in Spain, reported El Mundo, representing 3.2% of cases, as one expert warned more deaths can be expected.

It comes after a 'middle aged' man from Alicante, in the Valencia region, became the 1st death in Europe on Friday [29 Jul 2022].

He has not been identified but health authorities said he died from encephalitis associated with the disease, a serious condition which causes the brain to become swollen.

It followed the death of a 41-year-old male in Brazil. He had serious immune system complications and was hospitalised at the Eduardo de Menezes Hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, at the time of his death Thursday [28 Jul 2022].

As as part of the outbreak, 8 deaths have now been reported with 5 occurring in African nations where the virus is endemic.
