    A total of 8238 cases of monkeypox have been identified through IHR mechanisms and official public resources up to 12 July 2022, 14:00, from 35 countries and areas throughout the European region. Case-based data were reported for 6900 cases from 29 countries and areas to ECDC and the WHO Regional Office for Europe through The European Surveillance System (TESSy), up to 12 July 2022, 10:00.

    Of the 6900 cases reported in TESSy, 6899 were laboratory confirmed. Furthermore, where sequencing was available, 130 were confirmed to be of the West African clade. The earliest date of symptom onset was reported as 03 April 2022. The majority of cases were between 31 and 40 years-old (2890/6892 - 42%) and male (6782/6818 - 99.5%). Among cases with known HIV status, 43% (561/1313) were HIV-positive. The majority of cases presented with a rash (3505/3683 - 95.2%) and systemic symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, sore throat or headache (2346/3683 - 64%). 183 cases were hospitalised (10.2%), of which 98 cases required clinical care. Three cases were admitted to ICU. No cases were reported to have died. Some (23) cases were reported to be health workers, however further investigation is ongoing to determine whether infection was due to occupational exposure.
