“I can only confirm this information. Treatment is done at the Carémeau hospital center in terms of observation“, indicates Claude Rols. There is no hospitalization.
This first case of monkeypox in Nîmes, which would be the first confirmed case for the Gard department according to the ARS, is not, however, the first in Occitania. At the end of last week, Montpellier infectious disease specialist Jacques Reynes sounded the alarm regarding the regional situation. Twenty cases were then identified in the region.
