- Abstract
• 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.
