Severe disseminated clinical presentation of monkeypox virus infection in an immunosuppressed patient: first death report in Brazil
ABSTRACT Since May 2022, the number of monkeypox virus infections has sharply increased in countries where the disease has not been previously endemic. At present, most reports refer to low-severity cases. Herein, we present a severe case of the disease with disseminated skin lesions that progressed to death in an immunosuppressed patient in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
