| Abstract | This report elucidated the first two noteworthy cases of Mpox that manifested as an emerging concern in a densely populated city in Vietnam. Two male patients (22 and 27 years old) were admitted to the hospital due to the presence of small pustules on their faces, accompanied by symptoms of fatigue, drowsiness, and muscle pain. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction confirmed the presence of Mpox. The patients possessed a medical history involving four previous treatments for syphilis, a continuous antiretroviral regimen for over 3 years, no previous history of chickenpox, a lack of vaccination against chickenpox, and engagement in intimate contact with other men. Following a 14-day isolation period coupled with appropriate medical interventions, both patients exhibited stable health conditions, marked by the absence of fever and the desiccation of skin blisters. Subsequently, they were discharged with instructions for ongoing health monitoring. Comprehensive surveillance and monitoring approaches have been implemented for all individuals in close contact with the affected patients, adhering to established guidelines. Notably, no suspected cases have been identified during the current surveillance efforts. The collective findings underscore the significance of robust surveillance, continuous monitoring, and strategic vaccination initiatives, particularly in densely populated urban centers, to effectively manage and mitigate the impact of Mpox outbreaks. |
