- Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease originally from Africa that recently saw a global outbreak starting in April 2022, with limited understanding of its transmission.
- This observational study analyzed anal symptoms in 65 men diagnosed with monkeypox at a proctology unit in Paris during mid-2022, focusing on the association with sexually transmitted infections.
- Key findings revealed that a high percentage of cases involved sexual transmission, primarily among men who have sex with men, with common symptoms being painful anal and perianal ulcerations, and most patients experienced complete symptom resolution within 12 days.
