The monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a rare infectious disease that has emerged in the past two decades. Originating in animals, MPXV was then transmitted to humans, thus classifying it as a viral zoonosis. The virus is now primarily spread through close contact between humans. MPXV primarily affects the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic (1). However, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are public health concerns regarding its recent emergence in the United States.
