Abstract:
A 19-year-old young man presented with prodromal symptoms including fever and sore throat, followed by the development of scattered rashes in the perianal and penile regions. Monkeypox (MPX) was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of lesions. On the third day after complete resolution of the initial rash, the patient developed a new rash, which was diagnosed as secondary herpes zoster (HZ). Therefore, clinicians should not only focus on the accurate diagnosis of monkeypox, but also be alert to secondary herpes zoster.
摘要:
一名19岁的年轻人出现前驱症状,包括发烧和喉咙痛,其次是在肛周和阴茎区域散落的皮疹的发展。使用病变的聚合酶链反应(PCR)确认猴痘(MPX)。在最初的皮疹完全消退后的第三天,病人出现了新的皮疹,被诊断为继发性带状疱疹(HZ)。因此,临床医生不仅要关注猴痘的准确诊断,但也要警惕继发性带状疱疹。
