LA County confirms first monkeypox death
A Los Angeles County resident has died of monkeypox, health officials announced on Monday afternoon, Sept. 12, marking not only the region’s first confirmed death because of the virus — but also what appears to be the first confirmed death in the nation.
Health officials said on Monday that DPH and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had confirmed LA County’s first death because of monkeypox. Symptoms can include fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion. A rash that can look like pimples or blisters sometimes appears on the face, inside the mouth and on other parts of the body.
