Abstract
The monkeypox virus (MPXV) has become a dangerous zoonosis. The fast spread of MPXV occurred in the last two years. The number of cases remarkably increased in 2022. The reasons behind the sudden increase in MPXV cases are multifactorial. Monkeypox (MPOX) a viral zoonotic illness, is caused by MPXV. It is an enveloped, linear, double-stranded DNA virus. MPXV transmission may take place by direct contact with humans or animals. This article summarizes a better understanding of the spread of MPXV infections. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers require a high level of care and precaution against this virus as the infection may transmit during pregnancy from mother to fetus and during breastfeeding to the infant. Clinical management of monkeypox in pregnancy is also reviewed in this article.
