Özet
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease that is endemic in Central and West Africa. Until May 2022, sporadic cases associated with travel to Africa have been reported in the United States and the United Kingdom. After May 2022, many non-travel-related cases have started to be reported in European countries and the United States. Initial symptoms include fever, headache, myalgia, and lymphadenopathy. After 1-5 days from the onset of symptoms, rashes that concentrate on the face and extremities appear. The number of lesions can vary from a few to thousands. In the current pandemic, most cases have been seen in men who have sex with men (MSM) and present with vesiculopustular rash or genital lesions. These genital lesions can be mistaken for those of other sexually transmitted diseases, such as genital herpes. In this article, we present a case of monkeypox in a patient who presented with genital lesions and was initially suspected to have genital herpes.
