Iran has reported its first monkeypox case, Trend reports citing
Xinhua.
Health Ministry spokesman Pedram Pakain said the patient is a
32-year-old woman, whose infection was detected through her skin
lesions, according to IRNA.
The patient is from the southwestern city of Ahvaz and has been

The disease does not have a high mortality rate and can be
