The World Health Organization declared mpox (formerly monkeypox) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in July 2022. Aotearoa New Zealand has reported cases of mpox since July, with reports of locally acquired cases since October 2022. The 2022 global mpox outbreak highlights many features of the illness not previously described, including at-risk populations, mode of transmission, atypical clinical features, and complications. It is important that all clinicians are familiar with the variety of clinical manifestations, as patients may present to different healthcare providers, and taking lessons from the HIV pandemic, that all patients are managed without stigma or discrimination. There have been numerous publications since the outbreak began. Our narrative clinical review attempts to bring together the current clinical evidence for the New Zealand clinician.
2022年7月，世界卫生组织宣布猴痘（原称猴天花）构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。自7月以来，新西兰已报告了猴痘病例，自2022年10月起有本地感染病例的报告。2022年全球猴痘疫情凸显了该疾病许多以前未被描述的特征，包括高危人群、传播方式、非典型临床特征和并发症。所有临床医生熟悉各种临床表现非常重要，因为患者可能会就诊于不同的医疗服务提供者，并且从艾滋病毒大流行中吸取教训，所有患者都应在无污名化或歧视的情况下接受治疗。自疫情爆发以来已有大量出版物。我们的叙述性临床综述旨在为新西兰临床医生汇集当前的临床证据。
