A Case of Fatal Monkeypox Infection: Necropsy and Molecular Findings, with Some Considerations Related to Clinical Management.
CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY AND INFECTION(2024)
摘要
Objective: Human monkeypox (mpox) is usually self-limited infection; however, rising data show a worse outcome in patients with impaired immune status, particularly those co-infected with HIV [Mitja O, Alemany A, Marks M, Lezama Mora JI, Rodriguez-Aldama JC, Torres Silva MS et al. Mpox in people with advanced HIV infection: A global case series. Lancet. 2023; 401:939e49. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/ S0140-6736(23)00273-8] [Govind A, Lazarte SM, Kitchell E, Chow JY, Estelle CD, Fixsen E et al. Severe mpox infections in people with uncontrolled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Clin Infect Dis. 2023; 76:1843e6. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciad052]. Methods: We report the clinical, pathological, and molecular study of a patient with mpox infection and a late HIV diagnosis, with fatal outcome. Results: Necropsy revealed visceral spread of mpox. Mpox virus was sequenced twice during the admission, uncovering an emerging mutation near a genomic region where mutations associated with tecovirimat resistance have been documented. Discussion: Monkeypox can manifest as an opportunistic infection in individuals with advanced HIVassociated immunosuppression.
