Monkeypox can spread in kids, but the risk is low.
As the school year kicks into gear across the United States, a smattering of monkeypox cases in children have made headlines. On the heels of COVID-19's explosive spread, how worried should parents be that monkeypox will start spreading widely in children?
The rise of monkeypox Historically, the disease spread in Central and West Africa, and most reported cases were in children, according to a review published in July in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health. While it's possible that respiratory secretions also play a role in transmission, close and sustained contact seems to be key, Bryant agreed. It's not known how much asymptomatic transmission plays a role in spread, though a recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that some people may shed virus before their symptoms appear.
