Summary
Human monkeypox (MPX) can lead to secondary deep skin infections. This study highlights two cases of bacterial cellulitis complicating MPX, offering insights into prevention strategies for this underreported condition.
Area of Science:
- Infectious Diseases
- Dermatology
- Microbiology
Background:
- Human monkeypox (MPX) is a zoonotic viral disease endemic to Africa, with recent global outbreaks.
- MPX typically presents with a characteristic rash, but complications can occur.
- Deep skin infections are an underreported complication of MPX virus infection.

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
