Harris County leaders announce the first presumptive positive child case in Texas. If confirmed by the CDC, it would be the country’s seventh pediatric case.
According to Harris County leaders, a child under two years old is the first presumptive positive pediatric case of monkeypox in Texas.
In a news conference today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said this is a reminder that anyone can get monkeypox, but she also stressed this is a rare case. “This would be, as best we know, the seventh case in the country in a child, the only case of monkeypox of a child in the entire state of Texas,” said Judge Hidalgo.
The child hasn't been in school or daycare, and currently, their only symptom is a rash. Though it is unclear how the two-year-old contracted monkeypox, the county is working with the child's family to begin contact tracing.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
