Epidemiologic Situation of HIV and Monkeypox Coinfection: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The most recent monkeypox (Mpox) outbreak is mostly affecting men who have sex with men (MSM) who participate in high-risk sexual behaviors, which is typically the case among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carriers, according to clinical and epidemiological statistics. The objective of this research is to determine the epidemiological situation of HIV and smallpox co-infection. Until 1 October 2022, a thorough evaluation of the literature was conducted utilizing the databases PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies were evaluated based on the criteria for selection. Fifty-three studies met the selection criteria. A total of 6345 confirmed cases of monkeypox were recorded, and 40.32% (n = 2558) of these cases also had HIV co-infection. In addition, 51.36% (n = 3259) of the men (91.44%; n = 5802), whose ages ranged from 18 to 71 years, exhibited MSM-specific sexual behaviors. Co-infection with these two viruses can be especially dangerous because it can exacerbate the symptoms of both diseases and make them more difficult to treat. People with HIV are more vulnerable to certain infections, including monkeypox, because their immune systems are weakened. Therefore, it is important that they take measures to prevent infection, such as avoiding contact with infected animals, risky behaviors, and maintaining good hygiene.

“…We thank Sookaromdee and colleagues for comments on our case report. 1 We agree that Taiwan is unique in having strict border control measures for COVID-19 pandemic remaining in place at the time the monkeypox outbreak began worldwide in June, 2022, which effectively prevented further local spread within the country. As of Oct 9, 2022, there is only 4 cases of confirmed monkeypox in Taiwan.…”

“…The current outbreak of mpox has presented with atypical clinical characteristics, with many patients facing symptoms deviating from those previously described 7 . Most notably, there is frequent absence of the prodromal symptoms of fever, headache, adenopathy, and malaise before cutaneous involvement 9,10 . Additionally, emerging data suggests that a large proportion of mpox infections are transmitted during the pre-symptomatic period, from 1 to 4 days before the appearance of any initial symptoms 7 .…”

“…These lesions can be found on the face, hands/feet, and oral mucosa, and if present in multiple areas of the body, they often present simultaneously and in the same stage 8,11,12 . Though recent presentation has predominated in areas of sexual contact, such as the anogenital or the oral regions, it remains unknown whether the infection is sexually transmitted 9,10,13 . It is also unclear why some patients may present with disseminated monkeypox infection whereas infection in others is limited to one area of the body.…”

The first human infection with monkeypox virus was reported in 1970, and infections have subsequently been recorded in endemic areas such as Central and West Africa or linked to international travel to these regions. However, the emergence of the 2022 monkeypox outbreak has involved multiple non-endemic countries and continents without links to travel to endemic areas. The first cases in the current outbreak were reported in May of 2022. The primary mode of transmission is atypical and is thought to occur through direct contact with infected skin lesions. The rapid increase in case numbers prompted the World Health Organization to declare this disease outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. Robust efforts are being made by global public health authorities to develop effective antiviral treatment options and vaccination strategies to reduce the spread of this disease. The objective of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive review of the 2022 mpox outbreak with respect to its unique epidemiology, clinical features, complications, and management options.
