The death is “a patient who arrived at the hospital in serious condition with monkeypox and his physical condition weakened after abandoning HIV/AIDS treatment,” according to Eduardo Farfán, director of the Dos de Mayo Hospital in Lima.
The 45-year-old died of “sepsis” due to a weakened immune system, Farfan said.
He had been admitted to hospital with a severe infection of monkeypox and “other comorbidities,” the director said.
Farfan said his hospital treats about 8 or either cases of monkeypox a day, on an outpatient basis.
