A Case Report of Monkeypox Disease in an Adolescent
Monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection is a zoonotic disease characterized by smallpox-like rashes. It is endemic in Central and West Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the disease as an epidemic due to a significant increase in the number of reported cases, starting from Europe and spreading to other regions, particularly in certain areas, in May 2022. On July 23, 2022, it was recognized as a public health problem of international importance. Our country has also been affected by this epidemic, and the official number of reported cases is twelve. In this case report, an adolescent case diagnosed with MPXV infection was presented. A 17-year-old male patient admitted with the complaints of sores around the mouth and genital area, fever and headache. The patient had a history of sexual contact with three different males in the last six months. Honey-colored crusted papules and plaques were observed in the perioral area, as well as crusted papules on the penile and gluteal areas. Ulcerative sores were present in the oral cavity. Laboratory tests for sexually transmitted diseases confirmed the patient's HIV-positive status and MPXV infection through PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing. Antiviral treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was initiated after the HIV RNA level resulted in 263000 copies/mL. Additionally, a glycopeptide was added to the treatment regimen when methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus growth was detected in the swab culture taken from the wounds on the patient's face. No specific treatment was administered for MPXV due to the patient's uncomplicated clinical course and overall well-being. This case report aims to raise awareness about monkeypox disease in children by highlighting the clinical findings and potential risk factors.
