Abstract

Abstract Background: The new zoonotic viral infection monkeypox is a global health issue. Our study aimed at studying the epidemiology, clinical presentation, complications, case fatality rate, and transmission among the present cases of monkeypox infection. Methods: Articles were searched in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases using the keywords 'Monkeypox' [MeSH] or 'Monkeypox virus (MeSH). Narrative reviews, conference abstracts, commentaries and articles in language other than English were excluded. Results: Among 2352 confirmed cases studied from published literature which account for approximately 4% of infected cases worldwide. Around 81.71% of patients have a bisexual or Men having Sex with Men (MSM) preference. Approximately 30.18 % of confirmed cases were HIV positive. Male sex was also identified as a risk factor in our review. Conclusion: As monkeypox human to human and human to animal transmission is rising. Researching preventive, clinicodemographic and therapeutic related to monkeypox is therefore crucial.
