However, the individual had various severe illnesses and until the investigation is complete, it is premature to assign a specific cause of death,\" CDC spokesperson Scott Pauley said in a statement. \"Most people who get this form of the disease are likely to survive. However, people with weakened immune systems may be more likely to get seriously ill or die,\" he added. Since early May, over 90 countries have reported more than 47,600 monkeypox cases and 15 related deaths where the virus is not endemic. With more than 18,100 monkeypox infections as of Aug. 29, the U.S. accounts for the largest case count. Those exposed to a known monkeypox case and those at high risk of catching the infection are eligible to receive the JYNNEOS vaccine developed by Bavarian Nordic (OTCPK:BVNKF) (OTCPK:BVNRY). In addition, smallpox therapy TPOXX from SIGA Technologies (NASDAQ:SIGA) is available as a treatment for monkeypox on a case-by-case basis. Other developers of monkeypox therapies: GeoVax Labs (GOVX) and Tonix Pharmaceuticals (TNXP) Vaccine developers for monkeypox: Emergent BioSolutions (EBS), Chimerix (CMRX) Monkeypox test makers: Co-Diagnostics (CODX), Roche (OTCQX:RHHBY) (OTCQX:RHHBF), Applied DNA Sciences (APDN), Virax Biolabs Group (VRAX) Biden administration declared monkeypox a national public health emergency in late July after the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a similar designation. This article was updated to add the CDC's response to the death.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"claudebot","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2263445500"}
