Mpox (monkeypox) outbreaks are increasing globally, posing a potential pandemic threat. Dermatologists must recognize mpox symptoms, transmission, and management strategies, including vaccination and therapeutics.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Infectious Diseases
- Public Health
Background:
- Mpox (monkeypox) outbreaks have increased globally since smallpox eradication.
- The 2022 mpox spread signifies a potential second zoonotic pandemic of the 21st century.
- Cutaneous manifestations are predominant in mpox, requiring dermatological expertise.
Purpose of the Study:
- To equip dermatologists with knowledge on mpox.
- To review clinical features, diagnosis, and management of mpox.
- To inform frontline clinicians on mpox epidemic control.
Main Methods:
- Review of mpox virus history.
- Analysis of clinical presentation and complications.
- Assessment of diagnostic approaches, transmission, infection control, vaccination, and therapeutics.
Main Results:
- Mpox presents with significant cutaneous involvement.
- Understanding transmission and implementing infection control are crucial.
- Vaccination and therapeutic options are available for mpox management.
Conclusions:
- Dermatologists play a key role in recognizing and managing mpox.
- Preparedness for mpox outbreaks is essential for public health.
- This review provides comprehensive guidance for dermatologists managing mpox.
