As children get ready to head back to school there are concerns that it could fuel a further spread of the virus.
"Pediatricians are getting ready and already speaking with their patients and patients' parents regarding what to do if they think that they may have a rash or a fever that could look like monkeypox," Siddiqui says.
The officials say that it's difficult to predict where the outbreak will go from here because this is a much more aggressive form of monkeypox than has been seen in the past. • Can spread through direct contact with a rash or sores of someone who has the virus; from coming into contact with clothing, bedding, towels or other items they have used; and from prolonged face-to-face contact
• May spread through semen, saliva, feces , and other body fluids – experts are still studying whether this is possible. The most common symptom is a rash or sores that may look like pimples or blisters. The rash and sores may be all over the body or on certain parts, including around and inside the genitals, anus, and mouth, and last for two to four weeks.
