猴痘(MPX)病毒在非洲流行。然而,自2022年5月以来,许多非流行地区也报告了许多病例。病毒通常通过呼吸道飞沫或与感染的病变接触后从动物传播到人类或从人类传播。在最近爆发的MPX中,许多病例没有任何到流行地区的旅行史,并且报告了男男性行为者(MSM)以及其他性传播疾病(STD)的诊断。然而,MPX尚未被视为性传播感染(STI)。即使MPX和其他性传播感染之间可能存在关系,并可能对其传播采取促进行动。我们在MSM患者中提出了类似的MPX感染病例,伴有HIV和梅毒感染,并且没有到流行地区的旅行史。
Monkeypox (MPX) virus is endemic in Africa. However, since May 2022, many cases have been reported worldwide in many non-endemic regions as well. The virus usually spreads from animals to humans or from humans to humans through respiratory droplets or after contact with infected lesions. In the recent outbreak of MPX, many cases did not have any travel history to endemic areas and were reported in men who have sex with men (MSM) along with the diagnosis of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, MPX is not yet considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI), even though a relationship between MPX and other STIs may exist with a possible facilitating action on their spreading. We present a similar case of MPX infection in an MSM patient with concomitant HIV and syphilis infections and no travel history to an endemic area.
