ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection is a zoonosis belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus and manifests clinically with symptoms of fever, lymphadenopathy, and skin rash. In addition to the classic manifestations, the ocular system can also be affected, characterized by ocular discomfort, conjunctivitis, conjunctival hyperemia, and conjunctival lesions detectable by biomicroscopy and fluorescein testing. However, these manifestations are poorly understood and frequently underdiagnosed. Early recognition and understanding of the associated immunological responses are essential to improve the diagnosis and management of these cases. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the ocular manifestations of MPXV infection and the associated immunological responses.
