Abstract

Monkeypox, a zoonotic orthopoxvirus, has spread to many countries in recent months, involving mostly men who have sex with men (MSM) with multiple partners. Clinical presentation includes skin lesions, systemic signs, and less frequently skin superinfections, or ano-rectal and ophthalmic involvements. We aim to detail cases of myocarditis attributable to monkeypox, an entity that has been poorly described.
