Abstract

We studied a community cluster of 25 mpox cases in Vietnam caused by emerging monkeypox virus sublineage C.1 and imported into Vietnam through 2 independent events; 1 major cluster carried a novel APOBEC3-like mutation. Three patients died; all had advanced HIV coinfection. Viral evolution and its potential consequences should be closely monitored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
