PAHO Director General Dr. Carissa Etienne explains that so far, in the Americas, most of the confirmed cases have been among Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), followed by at least 145 confirmed cases among women and 54 among people under the age of 18.
As of September 6, 2022 Dr. Etienne says 30,000 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in the Americas. Four monkeypox deaths have been reported in Brazil, Cuba and Ecuador.
