Abstract
In 2024 it was reported that 92% of mpox cases from Africa were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and 66% of people diagnosed were juveniles under 15 years of age. In this outbreak, it is the clade I, in its variant Ib, and the transmission is more of heterosexual nature. In this editorial article some questions concerning this new mpox outbreak are made.
