Symptoms of Mpox Infection

The monkeypox infection is divided into 2 stages: the invasion period, and the eruption period.

Invasion period

Inversive period of monkeypox virus ranges between 0 to 5 days from the onset of viral infection. The monkeypox symptoms in the invasion period are fever, intense headache, lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes), back pain, myalgia (muscle pain), and intense asthenia (lack of energy). The characteristic feature of this period is lymphadenopathy that may appear similar to other diseases such as chickenpox, smallpox, and measles.

Eruption period

The eruption period begins within 1 to 3 days of onset of fever. The rashes on the face and extremities appear to be more concentrated compared to the rashes on the trunk. The skin eruption affects the face palms of the hands and soles of the feet, oral mucous membranes, genitalia conjunctiva as well as cornea. The rashes in the eruption period go through different stages from macules (flat base lesions) to papules (slightly raised and firm lesions), vesicles (clear fluid-filled lesions), and pustules (yellowish fluid-filled lesions), and finally form a crust that will dry up and fall off.
