Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which is similar to smallpox and poses a threat to humans. Early detection, effective contact tracing, and diagnosis are crucial for controlling the spread.
Monkeypox (MPX) is a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus. It results in a smallpox-like disease in humans. Recently, MPX has been declared a public health emergency of international concern. The disease is characterized by fever, muscle ache, malaise, and pustules. The presence of characteristic significant lymphadenopathy helps it to be differentiated from other similar illnesses. Early detection of cases and effective contact tracing is necessary for breaking the chain of transmission. Diagnosis can be confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of the lesions or by demonstrating the virus in other body fluids. There is no specific treatment for monkeypox, although the smallpox vaccine is thought to have high levels of protection. In this review, we have tried to collect all relevant information about the current outbreak, including epidemiological data, modalities of diagnosis, and treatment options
