Non-exanthematous mpox infections in Nigeria: a possible explanation of the sporadic outbreaks in city centers?
this study identified the presence of non-exanthematous mpox infections in Nigeria, emphasizing the need to recognize and address "subclinical" spreaders to mitigate sporadic outbreaks of mpox infection. In addition, the findings highlight the importance of integrating targeted awareness campaigns to enhance surveillance and improve case detection of asymptomatic mpox in Nigeria.
