Caption:
This 1997 image was created during an investigation into an outbreak of mpox, which took place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), formerly Zaire. Pictured here, in this photograph from the World Health Organization (WHO), was the face of a young boy, who had sustained the ravages of the characteristic maculopapular mpox cutaneous rash, which resembled the rash caused by the smallpox virus. PHIL images 12745 through 12784 depict a full slide presentation telling the story of this investigation.
