Highlights |
• | Monkeypox virus and SARS-CoV-2 infections can occur simultaneously. |
• | Flu-like symptoms and SARS-CoV-2 positivity should not exclude monkeypox in high-risk individuals. |
• | Monkeypox is often diagnosed in subjects with a previous or concomitant sexually transmitted infection. |
• | The oropharyngeal swab for monkeypox virus may still be positive for several days after clinical remission. |
• | Since there is no widely available treatment or prophylaxis, rapid diagnosis is key to containment. |
