- Abstract
Since May 2022, an unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox is occurring in Western countries outside endemic area.[[1]] We describe the dermatological presentation in 70 consecutively included patients, with PCR-confirmed monkeypox seen from 20 May 2022 to 17 June, 2022, in our centre and systematically evaluated by a dermatologist. A superimposed bacterial infection was suspected in two patients with meliceric crusting on primary monkeypox lesions and in four patients with major inflammatory penile oedema with paraphimosis (Figure 1h). The primary appearance of ulcero-pustular lesion in the genital area or tonsillitis had already been reported in imported cases from Nigeria, without particular sexual exposure.[[9]] However, proctitis and/or urethritis related to monkeypox were never reported before the ongoing outbreak.
