About Mpox
Mpox is a viral infection caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. The 2022 global outbreak primarily affected men who have sex with men (MSM). Mpox causes a characteristic vesicular/pustular rash, often accompanied by fever, lymphadenopathy, and systemic symptoms.
Transmission occurs through close physical contact, including sexual contact, with skin lesions or bodily fluids of an infected person. Vaccination (MVA-BN/Jynneos) is available for eligible individuals. Most cases are self-limiting, but antiviral treatment may be considered for severe cases.
