Finally, the prediction happened: a native case of monkeypox was established in Argentina, more precisely in the city of San Isidro, province of Buenos Aires.
The patient is a 22-year-old man, who was treated at the Boulogne hospital for symptoms consistent with this pathology. Blood was drawn and the sample was analyzed by experts from the Malbran Institute who confirmed the presence of the virus. The young man was convinced without soon travel abroad and this is why it will be a native case.
Because of his condition, he is isolated at home until he responds to treatment. Therefore, this patient will be – in Argentina – The first civilian case of rabies occurred since the WHO declared an international emergency, Something controversial is the calculation, since, until now, the spread of the virus has not been officially eliminated and this will be another case of the current outbreak.
The authorities don’t like this
Professional and critical journalism is a cornerstone of democracy. This is the reason why he is happy with those who believe that they are the owners of the truth.
According to information generated by the health authorities of the province of Buenos Aires, before this case of San Isidro, two other patients were known in the local area: one in La Matanza and another in Berazategui. At the national level, according to the last Epidemiological Report published, 39 cases were reported, none of which ended in death. But None of them are “handmade”, but rather they have a history of travel or contacts with passengers.
As explained by an epidemiologist Osvlado Teglia, professor at the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences of the Austral University, “To put this outbreak in place, at the present time, in the United States, 31 countries reported 62,752 cases of monkey or “Monkey Pox” between 2022 and July 2024. And 141 deaths have been recorded throughout the area.”
WHO declared a global health emergency over the deadly strain of rabies
In Argentina, according to data from the country’s Ministry of Health, from 2022 until now, 1,157 cases and two deaths have been confirmed. So far in 2024, only eight have been recorded and no deaths have occurred, so this patient from San Isidro will be the ninth. Four of them have travel history or contact with travelers and the rest are under investigation.
List

These include fever, headache, muscle pain, and a characteristic rash that progresses from flat macules to pus-filled pustules. Also fatigue, swollen glands and pain in the genital area, anus or rectum.
