The World Health Organization said it expects to identify more cases of monkeypox as it expands surveillance in countries where the disease is not typically found.

As of Saturday, 92 confirmed cases and 28 suspected cases of monkeypox had been reported from 12 member states where the virus is not endemic, the UN agency said.

世卫组织表示，截至5月21日，全球已有12个国家和地区累计报告92例猴痘确诊病例和28例疑似病例。

随着监测范围扩大，世卫组织预测，全球猴痘病例可能进一步增加。

"Available information suggests that human-to-human transmission is occurring among people in close physical contact with cases who are symptomatic,", the agency said.

世卫组织指出，现有信息显示，与有症状的病例发生密切身体接触的人群中正在发生人际传播。

Symptoms of monkeypox are usually mild and include headache, aching muscles, and exhaustion.

猴痘的症状通常很轻微，包括头痛、肌肉酸痛和疲惫。

The disease can also cause unsightly skin lesions that are susceptible to infection.

该疾病还可能导致严重皮疹，并可能导致继发性感染。
