FOX 26 Reporter Tiffany Justice has more after a 2-year-old Harris County baby tests presumptive positive for monkeypox.A child under the age of two is the first presumptive positive monkeypox case in a child in Harris County, Judge Lina Hidalgo announced Tuesday morning.

The child, who is expected to have a full recovery, has a residual rash but is otherwise asymptomatic, Judge Hidalgo said. "We are in contact and have been in contact with the family who are fully cooperative," Judge Hidalgo said. "The family has helped us initiate contact tracing with the folks that this child has been in contact with. We are still in the early stages of the contact tracing, so we're not finished."Judge Hidalgo says this is a rare case and is believed to be the only one in Texas.

Dr. Noreen Mayberry or The Tox Doc, spoke with FOX 26. She says, the virus is not a sexually transmitted disease, and can be spread in many ways. She also says, since we live in a humid climate, the virus can live longer on surfaces.
