What you need to know:
-- Consider coinfections with monkeypox and other sexually transmitted infections among patients presenting with an acute rash or skin lesions and systemic symptoms.
-- While it is safe to manage monkeypox patients virtually, they may need advice to maintain infection control measures and interventions to manage complications.
-- A specialist infectious disease unit with access to novel antivirals such as tecovirimat and cidofovir should manage high risk patients.
-- Healthcare workers should be aware of the stigma surrounding monkeypox, which may result in reduced health-seeking behaviours; healthcare staff should screen patients sensitively, using inclusive language to avoid alienating patients.
