A New York City resident has tested positive for the virus that causes monkeypox, state health officials announced late Friday.
The unidentified patient is isolating and treating the case as positive while awaiting final confirmation by the Centers for Disease Control.
New York City public health officials said Thursday they were investigating two potential cases of monkeypox, a rare virus rarely seen outside of Africa that can cause flu-like symptoms.
Testing ruled out the other case, the state Health Department said.
The apparent infection in New York comes as the World Health Organisation has identified about 80 cases globally, and roughly 50 more suspected cases. Health officials in Massachusetts confirmed its first case of monkeypox on May 18.
