Officials say the patient is being quarantined as their investigation continues. This marks the second confirmed case in the U.S. after another man was found in Boston earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Monkeypox causes flu-like symptoms before the characteristic rash develops. The virus is spread through close contact\u00a0with people, animals or material infected with the virus. It enters the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract, the eyes, nose and mouth<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a few cases in Europe over the last five years, just in travelers,\u201d said Dr. Rosamund Lewis, who runs the WHO\u2019s smallpox research. \u201cThis is the first time we\u2019re seeing cases across many countries at the same time in people who have not traveled to the endemic regions in Africa.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Monkeypox?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Monkeypox<\/a> has so far been reported from 11 countries that normally don&#8217;t have the disease.
