What happens when a baby gets monkeypox? Florida reports its first case.

Health officials in Florida are reporting a concerning first: a young infant has been confirmed to have monkeypox. This is the state's first documented case in a baby. The report confirms the infection but doesn't detail how the baby is doing, how they were exposed, or what treatment they received. It's crucial to remember this is just one case. We can't use it to predict how monkeypox might affect other infants or how common such infections are. The report simply tells us it's possible for very young children to catch the virus, which underscores the need for awareness and precautions in households.
