What this trial studies

This study focuses on the clinical and biological characteristics of monkeypox disease, particularly in light of recent outbreaks in non-endemic countries. It is a descriptive, prospective, monocentric, longitudinal study where participants will be enrolled during consultations for vaccination or diagnosis of monkeypox. Data on socio-demographics, clinical status, and treatment will be collected, along with biological samples for various analyses including serological, virological, and genetic studies. The goal is to enhance understanding of the disease and improve management strategies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults eligible for monkeypox vaccination or suspected of having a monkeypox infection.

Not a fit: Patients who have already been vaccinated against monkeypox without proof or those with contraindications to vaccination may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved vaccination strategies and better management of monkeypox outbreaks.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies on monkeypox and similar viral infections have shown promise in understanding disease dynamics and improving public health responses.
