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.

Estimated incubation period for monkeypox cases confirmed in the Netherlands, May 2022

Fuminari Miura et al.

Summary: Based on 18 confirmed monkeypox cases in the Netherlands, the average incubation period was found to be 8.5 days, supporting the recommendation to monitor or isolate/quarantine case contacts for 21 days. Further epidemiological investigations are needed to confirm potential differences in the incubation period between different transmission routes.

Clinical presentation and virological assessment of confirmed human monkeypox virus cases in Spain: a prospective observational cohort study

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.

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.

Monkeypox: disease epidemiology, host immunity and clinical interventions

Fok-Moon Lum et al.

Summary: In this review, the clinical, epidemiological, and immunological aspects of monkeypox virus (MPXV) infections are examined, with a focus on host immunity mechanisms. The unique epidemiological and pathological characteristics of the current non-endemic outbreak of the virus are also considered, along with vaccines, therapeutics, and outstanding research questions.

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.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA monitoring in wastewater as a potential early warning system for COVID-19 transmission in the community: A temporal case study

Warish Ahmed et al.

Summary: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater can serve as an early warning system to identify viral hotspots and target localized public health responses. This method provides unique information on asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic cases that may not be captured by clinical testing, showing potential for effective disease surveillance.
