Monkeypox - Chile
The Chile Ministry of Health reported the second monkeypox death in the country. The patient was a older male who was unvaccinated and diagnosed on October 20. He had underlying pathologies and a weakened immune system (immunosuppression).
The World Health Organisation has decided to rename 'monkeypox' as 'mpox' due to a perceived discriminatory connotation in third world societies.
