In a male with severe proctitis, monkeypox virus DNA was detected in skin lesions, blood, nasopharynx, and rectum, underlying the generalized viral spreading. Rectal involvement was still found when skin lesions disappeared. At the early-stage, increase of cytotoxic and activated T-cells, while reduction of CD56dimCD57+NK cells compared to recovery time-point was observed.

Abstract
In a male with severe proctitis, monkeypox virus DNA was detected in skin lesions, blood, nasopharynx, and rectum, underlying the generalized viral spreading. Rectal involvement was still found when skin lesions disappeared. At the early-stage, increase of cytotoxic and activated T-cells, while reduction of CD56dimCD57+NK cells compared to recovery time-point was observed.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
