In May 2022, the World Health Organization reported an emerging global outbreak of monkeypox virus infection. Clinical manifestations of monkeypox allow us to quickly suspect the disease. Until now, no pregnant women infected with this virus have been reported; however, because of its speed of spread worldwide, it is possible that we will soon observe such cases. Thus, it is necessary for obstetrician-gynecologists to know the disease, its clinical manifestations, and the experiences reported in the few previous cases in pregnant women.
2022 年 5 月,世界卫生组织报告了一起正在全球蔓延的猴痘病毒感染疫情。猴痘的临床表现使我们能够快速怀疑该疾病。到目前为止,尚未报告孕妇感染该病毒;然而,由于该病毒在全球范围内传播迅速,我们可能很快就会观察到此类病例。因此,妇产科医生有必要了解这种疾病及其临床表现,以及以往少数孕妇病例中报告的经验。
