Highligths |
• | Management of a monkeypox case complicated with anal abscess relieved by colostomy. |
• | The viral load and viable virus was highest in skin pustule and rectal smears. |
• | Prolonged viable virus was detected in nasopharynx until 21th day of onset of symptoms. |
• | No viable virus was detected in the patient room air, which provokes the re-consideration of using N95 respirators for daily caregivers. |
