Tongue lesions of Mpox


From a case report in the New England Journal of Medicine:
Testing of a tongue lesion with a polymerase-chain-reaction assay for the virus that causes mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) was positive. A diagnosis of mpox was made. During the eruptive phase of mpox, a rash is very common, but isolated oral mucosal lesions may be the only mucocutaneous manifestation — as occurred in this case.

  1. Someone should post a comment about mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) on X (formerly known as Twitter) .... they should sign in as .... the artist formerly known as Prince.
