Brazil on Friday reported the first known monkeypox-related death outside Africa in the latest outbreak of the disease. Two other fatalities have since been reported in Spain.
The Brazilian victim was a 41-year-old man from Uberlandia, about 330 miles north of Sao Paulo.
According to the country’s health ministry, he had a “weakened immune system and comorbidities, including lymphoma, which aggravated his condition.”
