Endemic Human Monkeypox, Democratic Republic of Congo, 2001–2004 - Volume 13, Number 6—June 2007 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC
Abstract
By analyzing vesicle fluids and crusted scabs from 136 persons with suspected monkeypox, we identified 51 cases of monkeypox by PCR, sequenced the hemagglutinin gene, and confirmed 94% of cases by virus culture. PCR demonstrated chickenpox in 61 patients. Coinfection with both viruses was found in 1 additional patient.
