Mpox (formerly known as Monkeypox) has emerged as a public health crisis in 2022 with recent global spread outside of endemic regions and secondary transmission of this zoonotic disease between humans. The current outbreak predominantly affects men who have sex with men (MSM). Classically, Mpox presents with fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy; however, in the MSM population, genital/perianal skin lesions and rectal pain due to proctitis are commonly present. We present the CT findings of active proctitis in two cases of Mpox infection.
2022 年,猴痘(曾称为猴痘病毒)疫情爆发,成为全球公共卫生危机。目前,该传染病已从流行地区传播到其他地区,且已发生人类之间的二次传播。目前的疫情主要影响男男性行为者(MSM)。典型的猴痘表现为发热、皮疹和淋巴结病;然而,在 MSM 人群中,常因直肠炎而出现生殖器/肛周皮肤损伤和直肠疼痛。我们现报告两例猴痘感染患者的直肠炎活动性 CT 表现。
