The CDC is working with Mexican health officials after doctors there announced this week that a Dallas man infected with monkeypox first developed symptoms while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta.
In a release issued yesterday, Mexican health officials said the man visited the hospital in Vallarta after a doctor back in Texas urged him to seek medical attention for a cough, chills, aches and lesions on several parts of his body.
Doctors there told him to isolate himself. Instead, they say he fled, packed his bags and got on a flight back to the United States.
Mexican Health Officials and Doctors here at home have not released the name of the patient.
