Isolation center treats 'scared' patients as Burundi mpox cases rise
With 171 confirmed cases of the mpox virus in Burundi, and more than half the districts affected, the isolation center at King Khaled Hospital in Bujumbura is seeing more and more patients.
"There are cases almost all over the country," says Dr Liliane Nkengurutse, director of the Center for Emergency Public Health Operations (COUSP). "Although it started on the border with the DRC, we now have community-level contamination."
