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.

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.

Clinical features, hospitalisation and deaths associated with monkeypox: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Vicente A. Benites-Zapata et al.

Summary: This article presents a systematic review and meta-analysis of the monkeypox disease outbreak in Europe in 2022. The findings indicate that monkeypox is spreading rapidly, with one-third of patients requiring hospitalization, but the fatality rate is less than 5%. The authors emphasize the urgent need for countries to prepare human resources and facilities to effectively manage this global epidemic.

Human monkeypox expansion from the endemic to non-endemic regions: Control measures

Hashaam Jamil et al.

Summary: The recent monkeypox outbreak in non-endemic countries is a rare event. The increase in cases is linked to human migration, viral genetic mutations, and reduced surveillance. A multi-pronged approach involving health education, tracking human migration, developing diagnostic facilities, and effective vaccines can prevent transmission and pathogenicity.

Assessing Healthcare Workers' Knowledge and Their Confidence in the Diagnosis and Management of Human Monkeypox: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Middle Eastern Country

Malik Sallam et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and confidence of healthcare workers in Jordan regarding human monkeypox (HMPX) and their attitudes towards emerging virus infections from a conspiracy point of view. The results showed a lack of knowledge about HMPX among healthcare workers and low confidence in diagnosing and managing the disease. Additionally, some healthcare workers held beliefs linking the spread of the disease to male homosexuals. These findings highlight the urgent need to raise awareness about the disease and take appropriate measures to prevent stigma and discrimination among at-risk groups.

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.
