Baltimore City health officials are warning of an uptick in Mpox cases since Sept. 1.
Twenty-four cases of Mpox were reported in the city in 2025, however, more than half of the infections showed up in the last three months.
“The risk of Mpox to the general population remains very low,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Michelle Taylor. “We do not mean to alarm anybody. However, we wanted to ensure the public was aware of this increase in cases, especially so that people at higher risk of being exposed to Mpox can take actions to protect themselves.
