Third Case of Mpox Reported in Nairobi County

Posted on August 31, 2024August 31, 2024 By Naomy Mbaka No Comments on Third Case of Mpox Reported in Nairobi County

The Ministry of Health announced on Friday that another confirmed third case of Mpox reported in Nairobi County.

Health director general Patrick Amoth said the patient, a 30-year-old female had travelled to Uganda one week ago.

“17 contacts remain under close observation and this positive outcome demonstrates our effective response and management of the disease,” Amoth said in a statement on Friday.

He, however, said the second patient diagnosed with Mpox in Kenya has fully recovered and discharged from the Hospital.

Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa on August 23 confirmed that Kenya recorded its second case of Mpox.

The case was confirmed after samples were taken from a male truck driver at the Malaba One Stop Border post in Busia who had exhibited signs of the disease.

The third confirmed case brings the total number of confirmed Mpox cases in the country to three. The earlier two cases were detected in Taita Taveta and Busia counties.

Amoth said active surveillance for suspected cases is ongoing in the country to ensure the spread of the disease is controlled.

“Cumulatively, a total of 89 samples have been submitted to our laboratories for Mpox disease testing out of which 79 samples have tested negative for the disease while three samples have tested positive and the remaining seven samples are currently undergoing analysis,” he added.

Amoth said the Ministry has further screened a total of 582,847 travellers at 26 designated Ports of Entry across the country.

“We wish to reassure the public that our healthcare facilities are fully prepared to diagnose and manage this disease and there is no need to panic,” Amoth added.

“To reduce stigma and prevent the spread of the disease, we shall continue to share important information through our official social media accounts, the press and other public health forums countrywide.”
