In our cohort of 70 patients of men who have sex with men (MSM) with mpox, more than one-third presented with proctitis. In two-thirds of proctitis patients, there was no typical rash upon presentation, and in one-fifth, there was no rash at all, making the diagnosis a challenge. A rectal swab for mpox polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be diagnostic.
在我们70名感染猴痘的男男性行为者(MSM)队列中,超过三分之一的患者出现直肠炎。在三分之二的直肠炎患者中,就诊时没有典型皮疹,五分之一的患者根本没有皮疹,这使得诊断颇具挑战性。进行猴痘聚合酶链反应(PCR)的直肠拭子检查可用于诊断。
