Monkeypox has been diagnosed in the UK for the first time, according to an article on the BBC website.
The rare viral infection does not spread easily between humans and most people recover within a few weeks.
Public Health England (PHE) said the patient was a resident of Nigeria where the virus was probably contracted.
Monkeypox is usually a mild self-limiting illness and most people recover within a few weeks, however severe illness can occur in some individuals. It can be spread when someone is in close contact with an infected person, however there is a very low risk of transmission to the general population.
