Topical cidofovir in monkeypox: our experience. Comment on ‘Monkeypox: is topical cidofovir a good idea’

Abstract

In response to the recent article by Rubio-Muñiz et al, and in agreement with the title of their interesting work (Monkeypox: is topical cidofovir a good idea?1), we consider that topical cidofovir is a valuable option for skin lesions caused by Mpox based on our recent publication by Sobral-Costas et al (Human monkeypox outbreak: epidemiological data and therapeutic potential of topical cidofovir in a prospective cohort study).
