A student who was hospitalised to a private hospital in Kolkata might have monkey pox, according to doctors. He recently got back from a trip to Europe. A hospital in Kolkata accepted the young man from West Midnapore who also had other symptoms and a “rash” on his body.
As it was thought to be monkey pox, the sample was submitted to the National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune for testing. The test report is still pending. The sufferer is kept apart from others. The West Bengal health agency will also notify the residents of his home.

The student has reportedly returned from abroad, therefore there is no concern, according to health experts. This is the first instance in Bengal when a sample of monkeypox from a suspect has been sent for analysis. That student’s blood sample has been submitted. Additionally, fluid samples from a rash that resembles smallpox have been provided.
