Mpox is a viral infection with symptoms similar to smallpox, though generally milder. As the disease spreads globally, healthcare professionals must be vigilant in identifying early signs, such as fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy. Quick diagnosis through lab tests and prompt isolation of suspected cases are critical to prevent mpox transmission. Mpox treatment typically focuses on symptom management, though antivirals like tecovirimat may be considered in severe cases. Doctors should remain informed about the latest guidelines and public health updates to prevent mpox outbreaks.
