Abstract
Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has garnered recent attention as outbreaks are continually reported outside historic regions of endemicity in Africa. Consequently, MPXV is becoming routinely included in the differential diagnosis of rash illnesses, requiring clinicians and laboratorians alike to quickly adapt to a new public health emergency. This review discusses the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and laboratory testing of MPXV in the context of recent outbreaks.
期刊介绍:
Highly respected for its ability to keep pace with advances in this fast moving field, Clinical Microbiology Newsletter has quickly become a “benchmark” for anyone in the lab. Twice a month the newsletter reports on changes that affect your work, ranging from articles on new diagnostic techniques, to surveys of how readers handle blood cultures, to editorials questioning common procedures and suggesting new ones.
