A 47-year-old Caucasian traveller from an mpox (formerly monkeypox and also best suited abbreviated MPX)-endemic country was referred for a skin rash, of recent onset, confined to the genital area. The rash consisted of erythematous umbilicated papules, vesicles and pustules with a characteristic white ring. The lesions were observed simultaneously at different stages of progression on the same anatomical site, a clinical presentation that is not encountered frequently. The patient was febrile, fatigued and had blood-tinged cough. The clinical suspicion of mpox was raised, and the initial real-time PCR identified a non-variola orthopox virus, which was confirmed at the National Reference Laboratory to belong to the West African clade.
一名来自猴痘(以前称为猴天花,也最适合简称为MPX)流行国家的47岁白种人旅行者因近期出现的仅局限于生殖器区域的皮疹前来就诊。皮疹由红斑性脐凹丘疹、水疱和脓疱组成,伴有特征性白色环。在同一解剖部位同时观察到病变处于不同进展阶段,这种临床表现并不常见。患者发热、疲劳且伴有血痰咳嗽。临床怀疑为猴痘,最初的实时聚合酶链反应鉴定出一种非天花正痘病毒,该病毒在国家参考实验室被确认为属于西非分支。
