We performed anorectal testing in 18 cis-gender men who have sex with men with symptoms consistent with mpox virus (MPXV) infection. We found rectal MPXV DNA in 9/9 with and 7/9 without proctitis. Future study of anorectal testing is needed and may inform the diagnosis and pathogenesis of MPXV disease.
我们对 18 名有男男性行为且出现与猴痘病毒 (MPXV) 感染一致症状的顺性别男性进行了肛肠检测。我们发现,9/9 例有直肠炎和 7/9 例无直肠炎的患者的直肠中均存在 MPXV DNA。需要进一步研究肛肠检测,这可能有助于猴痘疾病的诊断和发病机制。
