Monkeypox (MPX) is a viral infection most commonly spread by close skin-to-skin contact. As of August 22, 2022, there have been over 15,000 cases in the United States, and over 400 in Pennsylvania. The cardinal symptom of MPX is its rash, which often starts off as flat spots before developing into vesicles and pustules.
