Managing the mpox in patients with advanced HIV infection and coinfections poses significant challenges. This report discusses a young male with advanced HIV (CD4 count 28) and severe concurrent mpox and HSV-1 proctitis. Despite initial treatment with oral tecovirimat, acyclovir, and antiretrovirals, the patient's condition worsened, requiring readmission. The patient received intravenous tecovirimat, vaccinia immune globulin, and brincidofovir. Sigmoidoscopy revealed extensive rectal and sigmoid lesions that necessitated prolonged hospitalization and pain management. This case emphasizes the complexity of treating severe coinfections in immunocompromised patients, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach and consideration of alternative therapies when standard treatment fails.
管理晚期HIV感染和合并感染患者的猴痘带来了重大挑战。本报告讨论了一名患有晚期HIV(CD4细胞计数为28)且同时患有严重猴痘和单纯疱疹病毒1型直肠炎的年轻男性。尽管最初接受了口服替考韦瑞马特、阿昔洛韦和抗逆转录病毒药物治疗,但患者的病情仍恶化,需要再次入院。患者接受了静脉注射替考韦瑞马特、牛痘免疫球蛋白和布林西多福韦。乙状结肠镜检查发现广泛的直肠和乙状结肠病变,这使得患者需要长期住院并进行疼痛管理。该病例强调了治疗免疫功能低下患者严重合并感染的复杂性,突出了在标准治疗失败时采用多学科方法和考虑替代疗法的必要性。
