ABSTRACT
We highlight a case of a 38-year-old immunocompromised man with untreated human immunodeficiency virus and Hepatitis C who presented with progressive soft tissue infection of the right foot despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. While he was admitted, the patient disclosed a recent diagnosis of mpox treated with oral tecovirimat. He subsequently developed worsening lesions over his entire body. In addition, a polymerase chain reaction of the wound on the right foot was positive for mpox virus, and the patient improved on treatment with intravenous tecovirimat and vaccinia immunoglobulin.
