Depending on the stage of the disease, physical findings may include low-grade fever, enlarged lymph nodes (submental, submandibular, cervical, inguinal), and skin rash with typical progression: Macular (1-2 days), papular (1-2 days), vesicular (1-2 days), pustular (5-7 days), scabs (7-14 days)<ref name="urlClinical Recognition | Monkeypox | Poxvirus | CDC">{{cite web |url=https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/clinicians/clinical-recognition.html |title=Clinical Recognition &#124; Monkeypox &#124; Poxvirus &#124; CDC |format= |work= |accessdate=2022-06-15}}</ref>.

Note: To describe a rash, always report additional details that include the color (e.g. erythematous), shape (e.g. flat / bullous), dermarcation (e.g. well-circumscribed / diffuse), location (e.g. truncal / on the face / on the extremities), enclosing fluid (e.g. vesicular / filled with pus, clear), and if possible smell (e.g. foul-smelling / odorless)
*Includes palms and soles​
*often painful until the healing phase when they become itchy (crusts)

The skin lesions usually develop simultaneously as macular (1-2 days), then evolve to papular (1-2 days), vesicular (1-2 days), pustular (5-7 days), and finally scabs (7-14 days).

Overview

Depending on the stage of the disease, physical findings may include low-grade fever, enlarged lymph nodes (submental, submandibular, cervical, inguinal), and skin rash with typical progression: Macular (1-2 days), papular (1-2 days), vesicular (1-2 days), pustular (5-7 days), scabs (7-14 days)[1].

Physical Examination

Vital Signs

  • Low-grade fever (temperature, 100.8°F, 38.2°C)[2]
    • Fever before rash ​is a key characteristics to identifying monkeypox[1]

Skin

Skin lesions develop after the prodrome (early set of symptoms). The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described following characteristics of lesions to identify monkeypox[1]:

  • Relatively the same size and same stage of development on a single site of the body
  • Well-circumscribed, deep seated, and often develop umbilication (resembles a dot on the top of the lesion)
  • Disseminated rash is centrifugal (more lesions on extremities, face) ​
  • Includes palms and soles​
  • often painful until the healing phase when they become itchy (crusts)

The skin lesions usually develop simultaneously as macular (1-2 days), then evolve to papular (1-2 days), vesicular (1-2 days), pustular (5-7 days), and finally scabs (7-14 days).

Neck

Genitourinary

  • Inguinal lymphadenopathy
    • Lymph nodes may increase in size in seldom cases after sexual intercourse[3]
  • Signs of proctitis, or inflammation of the rectum[4][5]
    • Anal and rectal pain
    • Rectal bleeding
    • Malodorous, mucopurulent discharge
