Abstract:
Although a few male sex workers were diagnosed with Mpox during the 2022 outbreak, we are not aware of a prior case of the disease among female sex workers (FSWs), especially from a previously endemic country in Africa. We report a case of laboratory-confirmed Mpox in a 24-year-old FSW from Nigeria. She initially developed a fever and then vesiculopustular lesions localized to the groin and genital skin 4 days after her last sexual activity with a client in a brothel. We highlight the public health implications of this case report for the epidemiology and control of Mpox in Africa and globally.
