Abstract / Summary
In July 2024, we reported information on the initial human mpox cases in Uganda. Genomic characterization of clinically suspected cases (July–December 2024) revealed cocirculation of several monkeypox virus clade 1b clusters and varicella zoster virus. Our findings highlight the need to refine differential diagnoses by molecular techniques and strengthen surveillance.
