Abstract

Mpox (viruela símica) es una enfermedad viral que puede producir síntomas como erupción cutánea, adenomegalias y fiebre. Pese a su baja tasa de mortalidad, se relaciona con complicaciones que pueden comprometer la calidad de vida de las personas. Fue identificada por primera vez en humanos en 1970, desde entonces se mantenía una distribución geográfica y una incidencia controladas. No obstante, desde el año 2022 su incidencia ha aumentado al igual que su distribución geográfica alcanzando un total de 89.596 casos confirmados por laboratorio y 663 casos probables, incluidas 157 muertes, reportados al 28 de agosto de 2023; llegando incluso a países no endémicos. A continuación, se presenta una revisión narrativa con base en información recolectada en bases de datos como UpToDate, Google Scholar, Medline, ClinicalKey, Scopus, Embase, Pubmed; con el objetivo de describir los aspectos más relevantes de Mpox en humanos desde una perspectiva epidemiológica actual, además de presentar datos fisiopatológicos, de diagnóstico, tratamiento, pronóstico y rehabilitación.
