Monkeypox infection in an AIDS patient with Syphilis manifesting with
scrotal and penile cellulitis
Abstract
Monkeypox infections in the US and across the world have been rising in
the past few months. Most of these infections have been found to be
transmitted among men who have sex with men (MSM). Our case report
discusses the rare presentation of a patient with monkeypox along with
multiple comorbidities, including AIDS, late latent syphilis, acute
hepatitis C, and asymptomatic and scrotal and penile cellulitis
secondary to MRSA. Further, our case report raises discussion on the
need for further research to identify the effect of monkeypox vaccine on
symptomatic patients who are immunocompromised.
