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.

Human monkeypox virus infection in women and non-binary individuals during the 2022 outbreaks: a global case series

John P. Thornhill et al.

Summary: This study examines the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of monkeypox virus infection in cisgender and transgender women as well as non-binary individuals assigned female sex at birth. The findings suggest that the disease has similar effects on these populations as it does on men, with anal and genital lesions being prominent features.

Summary: This study estimated the basic reproductive number (Ro) of monkeypox in three populations and found that Ro values were greater than 1, indicating sustained potential for outbreak. These estimates are important for informing policy makers in developing public health control measures.

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.

Evidence of surface contamination in hospital rooms occupied by patients infected with monkeypox, Germany, June 2022

Dominik Noerz et al.

Summary: The study investigated the environmental contamination of monkeypox virus on surfaces in hospital rooms occupied by patients. High concentrations of viral copies were detected on inanimate surfaces and the virus was successfully isolated from these surfaces. These findings emphasize the importance of strict adherence to protective measures by hospital staff and suggest pre-exposure or early post-exposure vaccination for individuals at risk.

Monkeypox transmission following exposure in healthcare facilities in nonendemic settings: Low risk but limited literature

Kimon C. Zachary et al.

Summary: The transmission risk of monkeypox in healthcare settings outside endemic regions is not well understood. A rapid literature review identified only one reported case of transmission outside monkeypox-endemic regions from 2000 to 2022. Available literature is limited due to nonstandardized exposure definitions and limited detail describing exposures.

Eloy Jose Tarin-Vicente et al.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical and virological characteristics of cases of human monkeypox in Spain. The findings showed that monkeypox caused genital, perianal, and oral lesions and complications including proctitis and tonsillitis. Lesion swabs showed the highest viral loads, suggesting close contact as the dominant transmission route in the current outbreak.

Phylogenomic characterization and signs of microevolution in the 2022 multi-country outbreak of monkeypox virus

Joana Isidro et al.

Summary: In this study, shotgun metagenomics were used to rapidly reconstruct and characterize the genome sequences of the largest monkeypox virus outbreak in non-endemic countries so far. The findings indicate that the outbreak most likely has a single origin and that the virus belongs to clade 3. Furthermore, the study suggests the involvement of host APOBEC3 in viral evolution and reveals signs of ongoing microevolution in the virus.

Aatish Patel et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the clinical features of monkeypox infection in humans and confirms the ongoing community transmission among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in the UK and other non-endemic countries. The study found variable temporal association between mucocutaneous and systemic features, suggesting a new clinical course of the disease. New clinical presentations, including rectal pain and penile edema, were identified.

Heavy-tailed sexual contact networks and monkeypox epidemiology in the global outbreak, 2022

Akira Endo et al.

Summary: The outbreak of monkeypox in non-endemic regions in May 2022 has distinct epidemiological features, particularly its rapid spread among men who have sex with men (MSM). A study suggests that the heavy-tailed sexual partnership distribution, where a few individuals have numerous partners, can explain the sustained growth of monkeypox among MSM. This highlights the need for tailored messaging and support to prevent and detect monkeypox among MSM with high numbers of partners.

Urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing nomenclature for monkeypox virus

Christian Happi et al.

Summary: We propose a novel and non-discriminatory classification method for monkeypox virus diversity. Collaborating with the World Health Organization, we named three clades (I, IIa, and IIb) in the order of detection. Within IIb, which is responsible for the ongoing global outbreak, we identified multiple lineages (A.1, A.2, A.1.1, and B.1) to support real-time genomic surveillance.

Summary: This study conducted environmental sampling at the residence of a person with travel-associated human West African monkeypox virus. The results showed extensive contamination of MPXV-WA DNA and viable virus on different surfaces. Porous surfaces appeared to pose a higher risk of exposure to MPXV compared to nonporous surfaces, but the potential for indirect transmission was limited.
