description On 13 May 2022, a familial cluster of two cases of monkeypox was reported in the United Kingdom (UK) by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). These cases had no relation to a case imported from Nigeria that was previously reported on 7 May 2022 in the UK. In the following days, several other European Union (EU) the Member States and other countries have reported cases of monkeypox not linked to travel to endemic countries. The report by the World Health Organization (WHO) until May 26, 2022, is of a total of 257 confirmed cases and 120 suspected cases, without any report of death. This outbreak involves 23 countries that are not endemic to the monkeypox virus. Latin America had no reported cases. We describe a case of imported monkeypox in Mexico City, Mexico.
