Abstract

Introduction: the recent mpox outbreak was considered an international public health emergency.

Objective: describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of mpox in a hospital in the province of Buenos Aires.

Methods: case series study in patients ≥15 years of age in the Dermatology service of the Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos "San Martín" in La Plata between August and November 2022.

Results: 10 patients were included. The mean age of presentation was 35 years. Seven of the patients were men and the remaining three were women. Most of them presented risky sexual intercourse as an epidemiological history. Pseudopustules were observed in 70% of the patients and all had genital, gluteal or perianal lesions. The complications observed were: local edema, proctitis, conjunctivitis and pharyngitis.

Conclusion: we present 3 female patients out of a total of 24 women reported in the country, which represent only 2% of mpox infections in Argentina. In most cases we observe pseudopustules, an elementary lesion recently described for this entity. One patient presented ocular involvement, a complication reported in 1% of cases in the current outbreak.
