Epidemiological, clinical and virological characteristics of four cases of monkeypox support transmission through sexual contact, Italy, May 2022

Andrea Antinori et al.

Summary: Since May 2022, there has been an ongoing monkeypox outbreak in non-endemic countries. Four cases in young adult men in Italy, who engaged in condomless sexual intercourse, were reported. The patients are in good clinical condition and do not require specific antiviral drugs. Monkeypox viral DNA was detected in seminal fluid samples. The possibility of sexual transmission of monkeypox virus needs to be investigated.

Clinical features and management of human monkeypox: a retrospective observational study in the UK

Hugh Adler et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively observed the clinical course of monkeypox in seven patients in the UK from 2018 to 2021. The study found that prolonged PCR positivity led to isolation of five patients for more than 3 weeks. Three patients treated with brincidofovir developed elevated liver enzymes, leading to termination of the therapy. One patient treated with tecovirimat experienced no adverse effects and had a shorter duration of viral shedding and illness compared to the other six patients.

Frequent detection of monkeypox virus DNA in saliva, semen, and other clinical samples from 12 patients, Barcelona, Spain, May to June 2022

Aida Peiro-Mestres et al.

Summary: A study found that saliva is the main source of virus detection in all cases during the monkeypox outbreak, and other samples such as rectal swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs, semen, urine, and feces were also frequently positive. These findings are important for understanding virus shedding and the possible role of bodily fluids in disease transmission.

Demographic and clinical characteristics of confirmed human monkeypox virus cases in individuals attending a sexual health centre in London, UK: an observational analysis

Nicolo Girometti et al.

Summary: Autochthonous community monkeypox virus transmission is currently observed among MSM in the UK. High proportion of concomitant STIs and frequent anogenital symptoms suggest transmissibility through local inoculation during close skin-to-skin or mucosal contact, during sexual activity. Additional resources are needed to support sexual health and other specialist services in managing this condition. A review of the case definition and better understanding of viral transmission routes are necessary for the development of infection control policies, education and prevention strategies, and contact tracing.

Demographic and clinical characteristics of confirmed human monkeypox virus cases in individuals attending a sexual health centre in London, UK: an observational analysis

Nicole Girometti et al.

Summary: In the UK, monkeypox virus infection is increasingly observed among men who have sex with men, presenting with symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and skin lesions mainly in anogenital areas. Concurrent sexually transmitted infections are common, and there is a need for improved infection control policies and prevention strategies to address this emerging public health concern.
