Houston Methodist confirms around 50 cases of mu variant
HOUSTON - Houston Methodist Hospital has confirmed to FOX 26 they have about 50 cases of the mu variant.
Last week, the World Health Organization identified the mu variant as a new variant of interest. The delta variant is classified as a variant of concern.
Houston Methodist Hospital reports the mu variant was first detected in May.
"We're actually pulling some data now, and it's sometimes hard to draw conclusions with such a small number of patients," said Dr. Wesley Long, Medical Director of Microbiology, Houston Methodist.
The delta is still making up nearly all of the cases at Houston Methodist. Dr. Long says the mu variant appears similar to the lambda variant.
