Abstract

Abstract : Monkeypox infection in a postvaccinated patient with altered immune status reveals unexpected initial manifestations that are important clinical considerations for the current outbreak. Abstract: We herein report a case of an altered immunocompetent patient with atypical monkeypox presentations after being vaccinated with JYNNOES vaccine. The initial presentation was of acute bacterial paronychia. This incident suggests the need for individuals at high-risk for monkeypox infection with altered immunity to receive 2 vaccination doses.
