Show more >The Monkeypox (mpox) virus outbreak has been controlled worldwide. We report the case of a combined pancreas-kidney transplant recipient who presented a severe and prolonged cutaneous infection with onset of 3 successive rashes while receiving tecovirimat therapy. During follow-up, skin lesions, blood and throat samples were collected. Viral culture and mpox PCR were performed. No positive viral culture was obtained from blood and throat. The lowest mpox CT-values were obtained early after onset of skin lesions and were more likely to be associated with positive viral cultures. Furthermore, we observed persistent skin lesions up to 3 months. On these persistent lesions, mpox PCR positives were obtained but were not associated with positive viral culture after 23 days. In this immunocompromised host, who was receiving tecovirimat, in accordance with existing recommendations a 21-day isolation period appeared to be adapted. That said, isolation should not be systematically extended if complete healing of skin lesions has not been achieved.Show less >
