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.

一名年轻人继发于猴痘的带状疱疹病例。

一名 19 岁的年轻男子出现发热和咽痛等前驱症状，随后在肛周和阴茎部位出现散在皮疹。通过病变部位的聚合酶链式反应（PCR）确诊为猴痘（MPX）。在最初的皮疹完全消退后的第三天，患者又出现了新的皮疹，被诊断为继发性带状疱疹（HZ）。因此，临床医生不仅要重视猴痘的准确诊断，还要警惕继发性带状疱疹。
