Monkeypox (MPXV) is a zoonosis with a double-origin DNA (DNA), caused by monkeypox virus, an orthopox virus and close relative of variola virus (smallpox). It was first reported in central Africa in 1970 and has historically affected some of the poorest and most marginalized communities in the world. The clinical syndrome is characterized by fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy. Complications of monkeypox can include pneumonitis, encephalitis, sight-threatening keratitis, and secondary bacterial infections [1].
