Among US monkeypox cases with available data, 99% occurred in men, 94% of whom
reported recent male-to-male sexual or close intimate contact; racial and ethnic minority
groups appear to be disproportionately affected. Clinical presentations differed from typical
monkeypox, with fewer persons experiencing prodrome and more experiencing genital
rashes.
