Iranian health officials have reported six suspected cases of monkeypox, a rare disease that used to be confined to Africa but has recently started showing face in different countries worldwide.
Ebrahim Qaderi, an official with the Iranian Health Ministry, said on Friday that samples have been taken from five of the suspects, out of whom three tested negative.
“Given the fact that we’ve had no reports of the disease inside the country, we have started screening for possible patients from border areas,” he added.
