Overview
Physical Examination
Vital Signs
- Low-grade fever (temperature, 100.8°F, 38.2°C)[1]
- Fever before rash is a key characteristics to identifying monkeypox[2]
Skin
Skin lesions develop after the prodrome (early set of symptoms). The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described with following characteristics of lesions to identify monkeypox[2]:
- 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
- Lymphadenopathy (submental, submandibular, cervical)
Genitourinary
- A pelvic/adnexal mass may be palpated
- Inflamed mucosa
- Clear/(color), foul-smelling/odorless penile/vaginal discharge
Write additional pathognomonic findings, such as discharge that resembles cottage cheese for C. albicans vulvovaginitis / fish-odor for T. vaginalis ifnection
