This paper describes the first detection of mpox virus in the Republic of Guinea, also describing diagnostic results from diverse clinical specimens in a patient late in the course of infection. RT-PCR results showed that after one month of infection, Mpox virus DNA was detectable in skin crust samples, nasopharyngeal swabs, and whole blood.
The observation of detectable mpox virus across specimen types can improve procedures for diagnosis of mpox during the recovery phase of an infection, as well as for ensuring that sufficient infection prevention and biosafety measures are in place during specimen collection.
