A rapidly emerging global outbreak of monkeypox virus infection (MPXV) in over 50 non-endemic countries was identified in May 2022. We report the case and images of a patient with MPXV presenting with genital lesions later complicated by superimposed cellulitis in Colorado, USA. MPXV lesions are susceptible to bacterial superinfection, and with the advent of new cases, the early identification of skin lesions and their evolution during MPXV are imperative for treating clinicians. Clinicians should consider MPXV in differential diagnoses of sexually transmitted diseases presenting with genital lesions.

2022年5月，全球50多个非流行国家迅速出现猴痘病毒感染（MPXV）疫情。我们报告了美国科罗拉多州一名患有MPXV的患者病例及图像，该患者最初表现为生殖器病变，随后并发蜂窝织炎。MPXV病变易发生细菌重叠感染，随着新病例的出现，临床医生必须尽早识别MPXV皮肤病变及其演变过程。对于出现生殖器病变的性传播疾病进行鉴别诊断时，临床医生应考虑MPXV。
