Up to 27 May 2022, Portugal has detected 96 confirmed cases of monkeypox. We describe 27 confirmed cases (median age: 33 years (range: 22-51); all males), with an earliest symptom onset date of 29 April. Almost all cases (n = 25) live in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley health region. Most cases were neither part of identified transmission chains, nor linked to travel or had contact with symptomatic persons or with animals, suggesting the possible previously undetected spread of monkeypox.
截至 2022 年 5 月 27 日，葡萄牙共发现 96 例猴痘确诊病例。我们描述了 27 例确诊病例（中位年龄：33 岁（范围：22-51）；均为男性），最早症状出现日期为 4 月 29 日。几乎所有病例（n=25）均居住在里斯本和塔古斯河谷卫生区。大多数病例既不属于已确定的传播链，也与旅行无关，也没有与症状患者或动物接触，这表明猴痘可能存在先前未被发现的传播。
