With 244 confirmed cases of Monkeypox across the country (see map below), and thousands more around the globe, the odds of a clinician being confronted by a case of this exotic and formerly rare infection rises with every passing day.
Tomorrow the CDC will hold a 1-hour COCA Call (webinar) for clinicians on diagnosing, treating, and reporting Monkeypox cases (details below).
These presentations are often technical, and are of greatest interest to clinicians and healthcare providers, but also may be of interest to others.
I suspect this will be a heavily attended event. If you are unable to attend the live presentation, these (and past) webinars are always archived and available for later viewing at this LINK.
Monkeypox: Updates about Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment
Overview
This COCA Call will present what clinicians need to know about monkeypox including guidance about the typical clinical presentation, treatment options, pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, and reporting to public health authorities.
