“…It is important to note that while modelling can provide valuable insights into the spread and impact of mpox, it is only one aspect of a comprehensive approach to disease control and prevention. 5 It is essential to complement modelling with other methods, such as surveillance, laboratory testing and vaccine deployment, to effectively control and prevent the spread of the disease.…”

Objectives The rising of new cases and death counts from the mpox virus (MPV) is alarming. In order to mitigate the impact of the MPV it is essential to have information of the virus's future position using more precise time series and stochastic models. In this present study, a hybrid forecasting system has been developed for new cases and death counts for MPV infection using the world daily cumulative confirmed and death series. Methods The original cumulative series was decomposed into new two subseries, such as a trend component and a stochastic series using the Hodrick–Prescott filter. To assess the efficacy of the proposed models, a comparative analysis with several widely recognized benchmark models, including auto-regressive (AR) model, auto-regressive moving average (ARMA) model, non-parametric auto-regressive (NPAR) model and artificial neural network (ANN), was performed. Results The introduction of two novel hybrid models, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which demonstrated superior performance compared to all other models, as evidenced by their remarkable results in key performance indicators such as root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), is a significant advancement in disease prediction. Conclusion The new models developed can be implemented in forecasting other diseases in the future. To address the current situation effectively, governments and stakeholders must implement significant changes to ensure strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) by the public. Given the anticipated continuation of increasing trends in the coming days, these measures are essential for mitigating the impact of the outbreak.

“…Ocular manifestations of mpox included ocular vesicles, keratitis, and conjunctivitis with pseudomembrane formation [27–29]. Penile oedema, arthropathy, myocarditis and central nervous system manifestations were also described [18 ▪ ,30,31 ▪▪ ,32,33]. Hospitalization occurred in 10–14% of cases with severe pain (30%) and secondary bacterial infections (26%) being the most common reasons for admission [14 ▪▪ ,22,31 ▪▪ ].…”

Purpose of review The 2022 global outbreak of mpox disproportionally affected people with HIV (PWH). We review the data on the presentation, treatment, and prevention of mpox in PWH. Recent findings Most PWH with mpox had a mild and self-limiting illness, no different to people without HIV. A higher rate of rectal symptoms has been reported among PWH and those with advanced HIV disease were at higher risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death. Treatment with antivirals was widely used in hospitalized patients without any randomized control trial data to support its use and without any data specifically in PWH. Use of smallpox vaccines to prevent mpox is safe in PWH regardless of CD4+ cell count. There is limited data on efficacy in those with lower CD4+ cell count and on long-term protective efficacy. Summary PWH should be offered vaccination against mpox in line with national guidelines. PWH should be individually risk-assessed for severe mpox, based on their CD4+ cell count and co-morbidities and ideally recruited into treatment trials to build an evidence base on efficacy. HIV and other sexually transmitted infection testing should be offered to all people diagnosed with mpox.
