Joseph D Cuomo et al
Foot Ankle Surg (N Y). 2023 Fall;3(3):100284

A young male HIV patient who presented with a tender foot lesion and diagnosed with pedal Monkeypox as a result of performed tests is discussed hereby in the case report.

Severe soft tissue infection: A complication of mpox in an individual with HIV coinfection requiring vaccinia intravenous immunoglobulin and intravenous tecovirimat
Arun Umesh Mahtani et al
J Med Virol. 2023 Jul;95(7):e28917

We highlight a case of a 38-year-old immunocompromised man with untreated human immunodeficiency virus and Hepatitis C who presented with progressive soft tissue infection of the right foot despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. While he was admitted, the patient disclosed a recent diagnosis of mpox treated with oral tecovirimat. He subsequently developed worsening lesions over his entire body. In addition, a polymerase chain reaction of the wound on the right foot was positive for mpox virus, and the patient improved on treatment with intravenous tecovirimat and vaccinia immunoglobulin.
