The IPC Mpox Guidance within the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual has been updated. Updates include:

• Case definitions separated out for clarity and includes definitions for suspected mpox and HCID Clade I mpox operational definition.
• Separate link to specific countries that are reporting Clade I mpox cases (historic or current), indicating where there may be a risk of Clade I mpox exposure.

The Mpox A-Z entry has also been updated to remove the ‘UKHSA operational case definition’ and has been replaced by links to the restructured definitions and country list as included in the guidance linked above.
