Portuguese health authorities said on Tuesday that 29 confirmed cases of mpox have been reported in the past three months, with 10 in August, three in September, and 16 in October.
The Directorate-General of Health (DGS) and the National Health Institute Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA) said recent weeks have seen an increase in cases, suggesting a possible intensification of transmission, although there is still no evidence of a new epidemic peak.
They noted that the rise in October exceeds the monthly average of around 11 cases and stressed that interpreting this increase will depend on laboratory confirmations and the trend of reported cases in the coming weeks.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also warned that all known strains of the mpox virus remain in circulation. If outbreaks are not quickly contained, sustained community transmission is possible. A newly identified clade, known as clade Ib, has now spread beyond Africa.
