Objective:

To analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics of 16 severe mpox cases diagnosed in Beijing and explore the relationship between these characteristics and the immune status of the patients.

Key Findings:
  • All patients were co-infected with HIV, highlighting the increased risk of severe mpox in immunocompromised individuals.
  • Severe cases presented with extensive skin lesions and significant systemic symptoms, leading to complications affecting multiple organ systems.
  • Imaging revealed critical insights into the extent of organ involvement and complications associated with severe mpox.
Interpretation:

The findings underscore the need for heightened awareness and early intervention in severe mpox cases, particularly among immunocompromised populations.

Limitations:
  • Small sample size of 16 patients may limit generalizability.
  • Retrospective design may introduce selection bias and incomplete data, affecting the reliability of findings.
Conclusion:

This study provides valuable insights into the clinical and imaging characteristics of severe mpox, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and tailored public health interventions to mitigate risks.
