Background

Before April 2022, monkeypox virus infection in humans was seldom reported outside African regions where it is endemic. Currently, cases are occurring worldwide. Transmission, risk factors, clinical presentation, and outcomes of infection are poorly defined.

Methods

We formed an international collaborative group of clinicians who contributed to an international case series to describe the presentation, clinical course, and outcomes of polymerase-chain-reaction–confirmed monkeypox virus infections.

Results

We report 528 infections diagnosed between April 27 and June 24, 2022, at 43 sites in 16 countries. Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men, 75% were White, and 41% had human immunodeficiency virus infection; the median age was 38 years. Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the persons with infection. In this case series, 95% of the persons presented with a rash (with 64% having <10 lesions), 73% had anogenital lesions, and 41% had mucosal lesions (with 54 having a single genital lesion). Common systemic features preceding the rash included fever (62%), lethargy (41%), myalgia (31%), and headache (27%); lymphadenopathy was also common (reported in 56%). Concomitant sexually transmitted infections were reported in 109 of 377 persons (29%) who were tested. Among the 23 persons with a clear exposure history, the median incubation period was 7 days (range, 3 to 20). Monkeypox virus DNA was detected in 29 of the 32 persons in whom seminal fluid was analyzed. Antiviral treatment was given to 5% of the persons overall, and 70 (13%) were hospitalized; the reasons for hospitalization were pain management, mostly for severe anorectal pain (21 persons); soft-tissue superinfection (18); pharyngitis limiting oral intake (5); eye lesions (2); acute kidney injury (2); myocarditis (2); and infection-control purposes (13). No deaths were reported.

Conclusions

In this case series, monkeypox manifested with a variety of dermatologic and systemic clinical findings. The simultaneous identification of cases outside areas where monkeypox has traditionally been endemic highlights the need for rapid identification and diagnosis of cases to contain further community spread.

16 个国家/地区人类猴痘病毒感染情况——2022 年 4 月至 6 月


 背景


2022年4月之前,非洲猴痘病毒流行地区以外很少有人类感染猴痘病毒的报道。目前,病例正在世界范围内发生。感染的传播、危险因素、临床表现和结果尚不明确。

 方法


我们成立了一个由临床医生组成的国际合作小组,他们为国际病例系列做出了贡献,以描述聚合酶链反应确诊的猴痘病毒感染的表现、临床病程和结果。

 结果


我们报告了 2022 年 4 月 27 日至 6 月 24 日期间在 16 个国家的 43 个地点诊断出的 528 例感染病例。总体而言,98%的感染者是同性恋或双性恋男性,75%是白人,41%感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒;中位年龄为38岁。 95%的感染者被怀疑是通过性活动传播的。在这个病例系列中,95%的人出现皮疹(64%的人有<10个病变),73%的人有肛门生殖器病变,41%的人有粘膜病变(其中54人有单个生殖器病变)。皮疹前常见的全身症状包括发烧(62%)、嗜睡(41%)、肌痛(31%)和头痛(27%);淋巴结肿大也很常见(据报道占 56%)。在接受检测的 377 人中,有 109 人(29%)报告伴有性传播感染。 23名有明确暴露史的人中,潜伏期中位数为7天(范围3至20天)。在对 32 名精液进行分析的人中,有 29 人检测到了猴痘病毒 DNA。 5%的人接受了抗病毒治疗,70人(13%)住院;住院原因是疼痛管理,主要是严重的肛门直肠疼痛(21人);软组织重复感染 (18);咽炎限制口服摄入 (5);眼部病变 (2);急性肾损伤(2);心肌炎 (2);和感染控制目的 (13)。没有死亡报告。

 结论


在本病例系列中,猴痘表现为多种皮肤病学和全身临床表现。在猴痘传统流行地区之外同时发现病例,凸显了快速识别和诊断病例以遏制进一步社区传播的必要性。
