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.

Diagnosis of monkeypox virus - An overview

Mustafa Altindis et al.

Summary: Monkeypox is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus, transmitted through close contact with infected animals, humans, or contaminated objects. Laboratory testing is necessary to confirm cases due to atypical clinical presentation, with nucleic acid amplification testing being the common method. There is a need for a global and effective laboratory network to enhance preparedness for this disease.

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.
