We aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics among individuals with confirmed cases of monkeypox infection.<h4>Methods</h4>We descriptively analysed data for patients with confirmed monkeypox who were included in the GeoSentinel global clinical-care-based surveillance system between May 1 and July 1 2022, across 71 clinical sites in 29 countries. Data collected included demographics, travel history including mass gathering attendance, smallpox vaccination history, social history, sexual history, monkeypox exposure history, medical history, clinical presentation, physical examinationThe Lancet.
