Authorities in India believe they have reported Asia's first possible death from monkeypox, after a 22-year-old Indian man who had recently returned from United Arab Emirates testing positive died.

Kerala state's health ministry said tests "showed that the man had monkeypox" but it is unclear whether this was the cause of death.

Three monkeypox-related deaths have so far been reported outside Africa in an outbreak that the World Health Organization has declared a global health emergency.
