Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is an infectious viral disease that can occur in both humans and some other animals.[1][9] Typical symptoms include a blistering rash associated with a fever, swollen lymph nodes, headache, and tiredness.[4] Other symptoms may include sores in the mouth, throat, or genitals, and pain on passing urine.[4] The time from exposure to onset of symptoms ranges from 1-to-21 days, and symptoms usually last around 2 to 4 weeks.[1] Symptoms are generally mild, though may be severe in people with HIV, in pregnancy, and in those with a weakened immune system.[1][10] The skin lesions can number from none to many, occur before glands swell, and can appear in one area at different stages of development.[11] The classic presentation of fever and muscle pains, followed by swollen glands, with lesions all at the same stage, has not been found to be common in all outbreaks.[12][13]

The disease is caused by monkeypox viruses, a type of Orthopoxvirus.[3] Of the 2-types in humans, the West African type causes a less severe disease than the Central African (Congo Basin) type.[14] It may spread from handling bushmeat, animal bites or scratches, body fluids, contaminated objects, or other close contact with an infected person.[15][16] Spread can occur by small droplets and possibly the airborne route.[6][12][17] People can spread the virus from the onset of symptoms until all the lesions have scabbed and fallen off; with some evidence of spread for more than a week after lesions have crusted.[14] The virus is believed to normally spread among certain rodents in Africa.[15] Diagnosis can be confirmed by swabbing and testing a lesion for the virus's DNA.[18] It can appear similar to smallpox and chickenpox.[4] Mpox should be distinguished from other infections such as measles, scabies, herpes, and syphilis, and non-infectious conditions such as a drug eruption.[4] The presence of swollen glands is more typical of mpox.[2][19]

There is no known cure.[20] The smallpox vaccine was found to be around 85% protective in preventing infection in close contacts and in lessening the severity of the disease.[3] A newer MVA-BN smallpox vaccine has been approved, but with limited availability.[2][5] Other measures include regular hand washing and avoiding sick people and other animals.[21] The antiviral medication cidofovir and tecovirimat, vaccinia immune globulin, and the smallpox vaccine may be used during outbreaks.[7][22] The risk of death has varied from 0% to 11%.[2] Most people recover.[4] The disease is more severe in the very young, malnourished people, pregnant women, and in those with weakened immune systems.[23]

The disease is no longer believed to be as rare as previously thought;[8][24] possibly as a result of waning immunity since the stopping of routine smallpox vaccination.[19] Cases have significantly increased since the 1980s.[25] Sporadic cases occur in Central and West Africa, and it is common in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).[24] Hunters in the tropical forests of Central and West Africa are most at risk.[26] It was first identified as a distinct illness in 1958 among laboratory monkeys in Denmark.[27][28] The first case in humans was reported in 1970 in the DRC, during smallpox eradication efforts.[29] The first cases in humans outside of Africa presented in the United States in 2003, when the outbreak was traced to a pet store where imported rodents were sold.[18] Since 2017, a large outbreak has been occurring in Nigeria.[30] Since mid-May 2022, cases have been reported with spread between people, in several countries that do not typically see the disease, including countries in Europe, North America, South America and Australasia.[12] On 23 July 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2022–2023 monkeypox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.[31] This was withdrawn in May of 2023.[32] Due to stigma associated with the term "monkeypox", the WHO renamed the disease mpox in November 2022.[33]
