Monkeypox virus belongs to the genus There was a worldwide mpox outbreak in 2022, with many cases reported in Europe in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. Here, we report a case of mpox diagnosed in a heterosexual woman in her twenties without any known history of exposure. This is a very rare event. Despite lesions remaining for more than 1 month, she recovered fully with no sequelae. We highlight the diagnosis of mpox in a heterosexual woman without a known or suspected history of exposure or any risk factor for acquiring the infection.
猴痘病毒属于正痘病毒属。2022 年发生了一次猴痘病毒全球大暴发,欧洲有很多男同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者报告感染。在此,我们报告了一例 20 多岁的异性恋女性感染猴痘病毒的病例,该患者没有任何已知的接触史。这种情况非常罕见。尽管皮损持续了 1 个多月,但她完全康复,没有留下任何后遗症。我们强调了在没有已知或疑似接触史或任何感染风险因素的情况下,对异性恋女性进行猴痘病毒诊断的重要性。
