Article Synopsis
- A study in Nigeria examined primary healthcare workers' knowledge and perception of mpox, noting limited research on the topic despite rising cases from 2017 to 2022.
- The survey assessed knowledge across various areas, revealing that while 78.3% were aware of mpox, understanding of its transmission was notably low, especially in Lagos compared to other regions.
- Most healthcare workers recognized that mpox could affect anyone, but nearly half felt that they couldn't protect themselves from it, highlighting gaps in knowledge and perceived vulnerability.

Methods: Adult patients who underwent anterior or posterior cervical fusion at three or more levels between 2014 and 2020 were analyzed.
