【听力原文】
A detailed analysis of monkeypox case records published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday offers new insight into the outbreak, which is disproportionately affecting men of certain ethnic groups. Additional analysis shows that all of the patients had a rash. However, a genital rash was more commonly reported in the current outbreak than in typical monkeypox. It was the most common location for rash, followed by arms, face and legs. More than a third of cases reported rash in four or more regions. Early warning signs of illness, however, were less common in the current outbreak. In about two in five cases, the illness started with the rash, but no reported early symptoms, such as chills, headache or malaise. About two in five cases also did not report fever.
