   INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) — State health officials announced   
   Saturday the first probable case of monkeypox in Indiana in 2022   
   has been identified. No further information about the patient   
   will be released due to privacy concerns.   
      
   Initial testing was completed at the Indiana Department of   
   Health Laboratories Saturday. Confirmatory testing is pending at   
   the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Based on the   
   initial positive test and preliminary case investigation, state   
   health officials consider this a probable monkeypox infection.   
      
   The patient remains isolated, and health officials are working   
   to identify anyone the patient may have had close contact with   
   while infectious.   
      
   “The risk of monkeypox among the general public continues to be   
   extremely low,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D.,   
   FACOG. “Monkeypox is rare and does not easily spread through   
   brief casual contact. Please continue to take the same steps you   
   do to protect against any infection, including washing your   
   hands frequently and thoroughly, and check with a healthcare   
   provider if you have any new signs or symptoms.”   
      
   Person-to-person transmission is possible either through skin-to-   
   skin contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores or contaminated   
   items, such as bedding or clothing, or through exposure to   
   respiratory droplets during prolonged face-to-face contact.   
      
   Monkeypox typically begins with fever, headache, chills, muscle   
   aches and exhaustion about 5 to 21 days after exposure. Within 1   
   to 3 days (sometimes longer) after the appearance of fever, the   
   patient develops a rash, often beginning on the face and then   
   spreading to other parts of the body. Some people may only   
   develop the rash. The illness typically lasts for 2 to 4 weeks.   
   People are considered infectious until all scabs from the rash   
   have fallen off.   
      
   The CDC reports that 113 monkeypox cases have been confirmed in   
   21 U.S. states and territories in 2022. Visit the CDC’s website   
   for more information on the monkeypox outbreak.

   information.
