How Mpox Diagnosis Works
Other diseases present the same symptoms as smallpox, such as skin infections, herpes and even allergic reactions. To detect whether the symptoms are from this new disease, a specific test is performed in reference laboratories, such as the Adolfo Lutz Institute, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) and the Evandro Chagas Institute, as well as private laboratories. The most common test is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, a reliable and safe test.
