Abstract

Diagnostic capacity is a key part of public and global health preparedness for newly emerging or spreading infections, and the recent global spread of monkeypox virus illustrates the consequences of inadequate diagnostic capacity. Monkeypox virus infection has a syndromic diversity—from asymptomatic infection, to isolated skin lesions, to fever and disseminated rash.1,2 Many recent monkeypox virus infections presented with lesions in the genital area alone, inconsistent with previous syndromic diagnoses in sub-Saharan Africa and the USA.
