Mpox: Characterization and clinical outcomes of patients in Colombian healthcare institutions
Over half of the participants were people living with HIV (PWH), with a significant presence of STIs like syphilis. While skin lesions and complications varied, no significant differences were linked to CD4 count or viral load suppression. Mpox symptomatology was not significantly associated with unsuppressed viral loads or low CD4 levels, highlighting the need for further research.
