Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis with symptoms that appear similar to smallpox patients seen in the past, although it is clinically less severe. Since eradicating smallpox in 1980, monkeypox has become the most important orthopoxvirus for public health. The virus is primarily transmitted by close contact with respiratory secretions, skin lesions of an infected person, or contaminated objects. We describe a young male with fever and vesicular rash diagnosed with monkeypox and herpes simplex virus 2 and review inpatient management of monkeypox infection.

Introduction: Chronic pain is a leading cause of chronic disease in Australia, with a 2020 report indicating that one in five Australians aged over 45 experience chronic pain. The high prevalence of chronic pain accounts for significant healthcare utilization and associated costs, with the economic impact of chronic pain estimated to be AUD$139 billion in 2018.
Case Presentations: This paper uses two exemplar cases to demonstrate inadequacies within the current systems supporting those with chronic pain and the associated impacts these inadequacies have on patient outcomes and healthcare costs.
