AR-News: (US WI) False lab test stalled monkeypox detection, report concludes

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

MILWAUKEE - (KRT) - A false lab test contributed to delays in recognizing 
last summer's monkeypox outbreak and gave doctors even more reason to think they 
were dealing with plague or a different illness, a new report reveals.
Wisconsin doctors chronicle the outbreak that involved pet prairie dogs and 
imported African rodents in the latest issue of the New England Journal of 
Medicine.
In a separate report, other doctors describe another rare African pox disease 
- tanapox - in a New Hampshire college student who had worked with 
chimpanzees abroad.
