There has been a shift in medical practices from examining patients for illness to relying on lab tests for diagnosis.  One of the tests used is the PCR test and it is likely to be used to diagnose mpox or monkeypox “cases” as it was with covid.

Although it is not the case in Africa, at least not yet, the World Economic Forum noted in 2022 referring to “cases diagnosed” outside of Africa: “All individuals who have tested positive have had the infection confirmed by a PCR test.”  And the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) notes: “Laboratory confirmation of mpox is done by testing skin lesion material by PCR.”
