COURSE SUMMARY: As the cases of Monkeypox continue to rise in the United States, the CDC has sounded the alarm - Monkeypox virus symptomology initially begins in the oral cavity. In early August, the United States declared the ongoing monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency. Two weeks prior the World Health Organization (WHO) declared monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern”—a designation reserved to describe COVID-19 and polio. Public health officials around the world and in the United States are increasingly urging clinicians to watch for warning signs. Monkeypox is an evolving threat to our patients and team.
