The Indiana Department of Health completed initial testing of the case on Saturday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will do further testing to confirm.

GARY, Ind. (WISH) — Gary officials announced Tuesday that the northwest Indiana city has the state’s second monkeypox patient.

The announcement from Gary came three days after the Indiana Department of Health reported the first probable case of monkeypox in the state.

The city’s health commissioner, Dr. Roland H. Walker, said during a livestreamed news conference that test was performed Saturday at Methodist Northlake’s outpatient lab, and the text confirmed monkeypox case the next day.

The person in Gary has been isolated, and local health officials have been in touch with close contacts, Walker said.

“For now, there are two confirmed case of monkeypox in the state of Indiana, both confirmed on June 19,” Walker said. “To give you some perspective, there have been at least by the end of last week 10 reported cases in the state of Illinois, seven of those in the Chicagoland area. So if you include Gary in the Chicagoland area, around nine to 10 cases in the Chicagoland area.”

Mayor Jerome Prince said, “Considering our proximity to Chicago it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that this virus has spread to the city of Gary.”..

Indiana health officials: Monkeypox cases include women and children
Farah Yousry

Indiana has confirmed monkeypox infections among men, women and children, according to an Indiana Department of Health briefing addressed to health care providers on July 22 and obtained and verified by WFYI.

As of late last week, monkeypox cases had been identified in a handful of Hoosier women, representing 20 percent of the roughly 30 confirmed cases confirmed in Indiana at that point, which stands in contrast with global and national data showing the vast majority of cases in the latest outbreak have been among men.

The presentation by IDOH chief medical officer Dr. Lindsay Weaver also mentioned cases among children but doesn’t specify how many. At the time of publication, IDOH had not responded to requests from WFYI for the latest numbers of monkeypox cases among women or the exact number of pediatric cases.

In an interview with WTIU/WFIU News, Weaver said the majority of cases in Indiana are among men who have sex with men.

“But we have cases in women and even cases in children here in Indiana, and we're starting to see that across the country as well," she said...
