Abstract:
Camelpox is a zoonotic viral infection caused by the Camelpox virus (CMLV), a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. The disease is endemic in camel-rearing regions of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Human infection is rare and typically occurs following direct contact with infected camels or their lesions. We report the first documented case of human camelpox in Qatar. The diagnosis was established based on epidemiological linkage to infected camels, compatible clinical presentation, and confirmatory laboratory testing.
