The clinical picture of the case is not related to monkeypox and other viral infections are being investigated, said the Communication Advisor to the Minister of Health, Constantinos Athanasiou, regarding the patient who was transferred to Nicosia General Hospital on Wednesday and was initially assessed as a suspected case of monkeypox.
As noted by Mr. Athanasiou, "the rash does not refer to monkey pox, samples were taken for other tests and it is being investigated whether it is associated with other viral infections."
At Nicosia Hospital laboratory tests are still being carried out to fully investigate the incident.
It is recalled that a 34-year-old man, who resides and works in Paphos, visited the Accident and Emergency Department of Paphos Hospital on Tuesday evening, where the doctors on duty found that he had rashes on his body and face of unknown cause.
