A 31-year-old man with confirmed monkeypox infection developed acute myocarditis about a week after the onset of monkeypox symptoms, according to a case study published in JACC Reports
Monkeypox is a disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which is in the same family as the virus that causes smallpox, which causes a papular or vesicular rash on the hands, feet, face, genitals and other parts of the body
"Through this important case study, we gain a better understanding of monkeypox, viral myocarditis, and how to accurately diagnose and treat this disease," said Julia Grapsa, MD, Editor-in-Chief of JACC: Case Reports
The patient presented to the health clinic 5 days after the onset of monkeypox symptoms, including malaise, myalgia, fever, and multiple enlarged lesions on the face, hands, and genitals
The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit after an initial routine examination for clinical suspicion of acute myocarditis
"This case highlights cardiac intervention as a potential complication associated with monkeypox infection," said Ana Isabel Pinho, MD, Department of Cardiology, São João University Hospital Center, Portugal, and lead author of the study
The patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital a week later
Monkeypox is spread through close contact with lesions, body fluids, or respiratory droplets
