Abstract
Monkeypox, an endemic disease in some African countries, has provoked public health activeness on a global scale that even the World Health Organization (WHO), invoking international health regulations, declared it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). The WHO called attention of member states to exert maximum surveillance over the disease, its patients, and contact persons in order to standardize control measures. A need was directed to provide complete knowledge about the disease, allowing the administration of prior diagnoses as well as isolation and more effective epidemiologic control measures. An updated review on monkeypox emphasized upon having the fundamental aspects of the lesions caused by the disease, and appropriate management of patients upon clinical and epidemiologic evaluation.
