Approaching monkeypox: a guide for clinicians.

The 2022 outbreak of monkeypox virus infection has expanded far beyond regions in which the disease was previously endemic. Monkeypox has a wide range of manifestations, some of which are unique to this outbreak. Novel clinical presentations, testing limitations, and a lack of available treatments have contributed to delays in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of monkeypox. As health care workers and governments fight this rare viral infection, which may become a routine diagnosis, early recognition of potential signs and symptoms along with appropriate testing is essential to prevent continuing spread and potential endemicity.
