J Infect Dis. 2024 Mar 26;229(Supplement_2):S255-S259. doi: 10.1093/infdis/jiad372.

Abstract

Mpox-related ophthalmic disease has been reported as infrequent. We retrospectively describe the ocular manifestations present in 11 of 100 patients with confirmed mpox; 9 were people with HIV. We suggest that an ophthalmological evaluation should be performed in all patients with ocular symptoms or moderate and severe mpox disease.

Keywords: HIV; conjunctivitis; keratitis; mpox; mpox-related ophthalmic disease.
