Overview: Mpox mainly occurs in forested rural areas in central and Western Africa. Since the cessation of smallpox vaccination, the rising incidence of reported cases and outbreaks are raising concerns about the future spread of the disease. Despite higher risks in endemic areas, mpox remains under-recognized and underreported. Optimal supportive care is critical to improve the clinical course of mpox and avoid the most severe complications for persons affected.

Course duration: Approximately 3 hours.
