Hoover mpox brain infection

The discovery highlights the potential for severe neurological complications in immunocompromised individuals.

Researchers found evidence of the virus in the patient's central nervous system, suggesting that mpox may have a broader impact on the body than previously understood.

This finding has prompted a review of treatment protocols for high-risk patients.

The emergence of drug-resistant strains further complicates efforts to control the virus and protect vulnerable populations.
