SALEM — The first suspected case of monkeypox has emerged in Oregon.

The Oregon Health Authority said Thursday, June 16, that an unidentified man who is believed to be infected had traveled to a community with confirmed cases. It said he is isolated and following public health recommendations.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conducting a confirmatory test, the state said. It did not release the man’s name, age or area of residence; nor did it say were he had traveled.

The health authority said it’s working with the CDC, public health officials and the man’s providers to identify anyone who might have been exposed.

The virus does not spread easily. Health officials have identified 84 cases in 18 states. No one has died.
