Monkeypox Presenting with Blepharoconjunctivitis
A 38-year-old male with recently diagnosed HIV and gonorrhea presented with umbilicated facial lesions and blepharoconjunctivitis of the right eye. Polymerase chain reaction test was performed of the skin were positive for Monkeypox (MPX). The patients’ ocular symptoms improved with acyclovir, azithromycin, gemifloxacin, and tecovirimat after 3 weeks of treatment. The incidence of MPX has been on the rise in 2022, and this case represents a unique presentation and an addition to the pool of data pertinent to diagnosis and treatment of MPX and its ocular manifestations. Due to the MPX reemergence, it is imperative for ophthalmologists to keep MPX on the differential for patients presenting with blepharoconjunctivitis.
