Human Mpox Virus Proctitis With Persistent Rectal Ulcers on Sigmoidoscopy.

ABSTRACT

The 2022 Mpox outbreak has caused public health concerns worldwide. Mpox infection often manifests as papular skin lesions; other systemic complications have also been reported. We present the case of a 35-year-old man with HIV who presented with rectal pain and hematochezia and was found to have severe ulceration and exudate on sigmoidoscopy consistent with Mpox proctitis.
