Is the new variant of monkeypox deadly?
A significant increase in mortality rate is being seen in the Clade-1B strain. The main reason for this is that this strain is not only affecting the skin but also the respiratory system. A person infected with the Clade-1B strain may have serious respiratory problems like pneumonia. Pneumonia causes inflammation in the lungs and also causes difficulty in breathing. It can also be fatal.
Some studies have shown that the mortality rate in patients infected with the Clade-1B strain has reached about 10%. However, it depends on many factors. Such as age, poor health, medical treatment and other conditions. To avoid this, one needs to be alert and cautious. In any serious condition, one should immediately consult a doctor.
