Abstract
Human monkeypox (HMPX) is an emerging viral zoonosis that has now become the most prevalent Orthopoxvirus worldwide.1 The Poxviridae family is formed by large, double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate in vertebrate cells. Currently, there is a substantial outbreak of HMPX, with more than 64 200 cases reported to date. Reports on the histology and ultrastructure of the current HMPX are currently scarce. We describe the clinical, histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of the current HMPX virus, emphasizing the applicability of both transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for a fast visualization and identification of viruses.
