Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence and Attack Rate
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the incidence rate of monkeypox was 0.64 per 100,000 persons in 2001. Between 2005 and 2007, the average annual cumulative incidence of confirmed monkeypox was 0.53 per 100,000 persons[1]. This rate has increased to 2.82 in 100,000 persons in 2013[2][3].
In the Central African Republic, the attack rate of suspected or confirmed monkeypox was 20 per 100 000 persons in a 2015 outbreak[4], and 500 per 100 000 persons in the 2016 outbreak[5].
Case Fatality Rate
The annual case fatality rate of monkeypox disease is approximately 8.7 %[6].
The case fatality rate for the Central African clade is (10.6%) significantly higher than that of the West African clade (3.6%), according to pooled data from 28 peer-reviewed articles and 10 reports[6][7].
- Cases detected in the 2022 outbreak in the US and Europe have been associated with the West African clade of monkeypox virus[8].
Age
United States
- In 2003, the median age for the 82 patients for whom age data were available was 28 years[9].
- In May 2022, the average age for 17 reported cases of monkeypox was 40 years [10].
Globally
- Africa
- In the 1970s and 1980s, the median age of monkeypox infection was 4 and 5 years.
- In the 2000s and 2010s, the median age of monkeypox infection was 10 and 21 years.
- Portugal: In May 2022 in, the median age of monkeypox infection was 33 years[11].
- Ireland: In May 2022, the median age of monkeypox infection was 37 years [12].
Sex
Men are more commonly affected with monkeypox than women. In previous outbreaks, men represented more than 50% of cases[6]. In the 2022 outbreak, men accounted for the majority of the cases[13].
