“…In another study, Raccagni et al reported a case of MPX infection together with a pan-resistant Campylobacter sp. infection and an Entamoeba histolytica and Chlamydia trachomatis proctitis re-infection [32]. In Nigeria, it was previously reported that most of the MPXpositive persons had HIV with features of AIDS [5].…”

Recently named a global health emergency by the World Health Organization, the Monkeypox Disease (MPXD) has gained attention due to its widened geographical distribution outside of Africa and also due to the novel sexual transmission route. The index case in Europe was from a Nigerian traveler. This study assessed public awareness and knowledge of the MPXD by conducting an online, cross-sectional survey of educated Nigerians. The study participants were recruited using the snowball sampling method between the 16 th to 29 th of August 2022. A total of 822 Nigerians were included in this study. More responses were retrieved from the Northeastern geopolitical region (30.1%, n = 220) than other regions. Our study participants had high awareness of MPXD (89%, n = 731/822) but only 58.7% (n = 429/731) of them had good knowledge of MPXD with a mean knowledge score of 5.31 ± 2.09. The main knowledge gaps were in the incubation period of the disease, the signs and symptoms, its mode of transmission, and preventive practices needed to curb the spread of the monkeypox virus (MPXV). Specifically, only 24.48% (n = 179) knew that MPXV can be transmitted via sexual contact. Most of the study participants (79.2%, n = 651) opined that we can prevent the occurrence of public health emergencies in the future. The multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the male gender (OR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.22,2.33); Ph.D. level education (1.44; 95% CI: 0.48,4.23); and being homosexual (OR:1.65; 95% CI: 0.71,3.78) were significantly associated with good knowledge of MPXD. Despite the varying prevalence across the country, the region of residence within Nigeria did not influence the knowledge of MPXD among the respondents. Despite the high educational status of the majority of our respondents, there were key gaps in the public knowledge of the MPXD in Nigeria. Therefore, public health risk communication must be intensified with a focus on modes of transmission and the preventive measures needed to curb the spread of the MPXV using an integrated one-health approach.

“…COVID-19 shares with monkeypox both the transmission by air droplets and the symptoms of fever, lymphadenopathy, headache, sore throat and fatigue [5] . As these pathogens continue to spread, individuals can be simultaneously infected with monkeypox virus, SARS-CoV-2 and STI, making it difficult for physicians to perform the correct diagnosis, also considering that not all patients with monkeypox develop skin lesions and that COVID-19 may rarely present with rash and vesicles [6,7] .…”

“…Hence, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox virus co-infection, particularly in subjects with a recent history of travel to monkeypox-outbreak areas. If monkeypox is suspected, an oropharyngeal swab should be performed even in the absence of cutaneous manifestations as the skin may be spared, but the oral or rectal mucosa may be involved [4][5][6] .…”
