Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is one of the rare zoonotic infections caused by orthopoxvirus. MPXV has recently been an evolving threat to public health with its contagious human-to-human transmission. Various presentations of MPXV infection have been reported ranging from generalised symptoms such as fever, chills, body aches, and swollen lymph nodes to dermatological presentations. Neurological manifestations that have been reported include headaches, myalgia, seizures, and even mood disturbances. Postinfectious complications such as encephalitis, vision problems, and skin infections have also been noticed. Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acquired acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by progressive, symmetrical, proximal, and distal tingling and weakness. Although various microorganisms are known to cause GBS and have been linked to the smallpox vaccine, they are rarely linked to MPXV disease. In this report, we describe a case of a confirmed monkeypox infection in a patient presenting with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
猴痘病毒（MPXV）是由正痘病毒引起的罕见人畜共患感染之一。最近，MPXV因其在人际间的传染性传播而对公共卫生构成了不断演变的威胁。据报道，MPXV感染的表现多种多样，从发热、寒战、身体疼痛和淋巴结肿大等全身性症状到皮肤病表现。已报告的神经学表现包括头痛、肌痛、癫痫发作，甚至情绪障碍。还注意到了感染后并发症，如脑炎、视力问题和皮肤感染。吉兰-巴雷综合征（GBS）是一种获得性急性炎症性多发性神经根神经病，其特征为进行性、对称性、近端和远端刺痛及无力。虽然已知多种微生物可导致GBS并与天花疫苗有关，但它们很少与MPXV疾病相关。在本报告中，我们描述了一例伴有吉兰-巴雷综合征的确诊猴痘感染患者。
