Occupational Monkeypox Virus Transmission to Healthcare Worker, California, USA, 2022
Abstract
Risk for transmission of monkeypox virus (MPXV) (clade IIb) to healthcare workers (HCWs) is low. Although many cases have been reported among HCW, only a few have been occupationally acquired. We report a case of non–needle stick MPXV transmission to an HCW in the United States.
