Abstract
in English, French

Mpox (Monkeypox) was largely unknown in Switzerland before the outbreak that started in May 2022 and spread worldwide, including Europe and the Americas. This article reviews the clinical manifestations and treatment of this infection while emphasizing the importance of clinical observation. Rapid identification and diagnosis of cases allow a more efficient application of sanitary measures in order to prevent further spreading of the disease.

La mpox (variole du singe) était une maladie largement méconnue dans notre pays avant la poussée épidémique de mai 2022. Cette dernière a essaimé dans plusieurs pays, notamment en Europe et aux Amériques. Nous abordons ici les symptômes et signes cliniques ainsi que le traitement de cette maladie, tout en rappelant l’importance de l’observation clinique en médecine. Un diagnostic précoce des patients infectés permet une application plus efficace des mesures sanitaires afin de limiter la propagation.
