MPOX Signs and Symptoms

Mpox is a rare, viral infection that does not usually cause serious illness. However, it can result in hospitalization or death. That's why health officials in New York, the U.S., and around the world are monitoring cases of mpox in areas that do not usually report mpox infections, including in New York State. While New Yorkers should not be alarmed, everyone should stay informed about mpox. This means understanding the symptoms, how it spreads, how to prevent it, and what to do if you are exposed.
