Overview
Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms resolving within 2 to 4 weeks. Complications are rare. They include secondary bacterial infection such as pneumonia, sepsis, encephalitis, corneal inflammation of the eyes[1][2][3], and conjunctivitis[4].
Complications
The complications of monkeypox are rare. They include secondary bacterial infection such as pneumonia, sepsis, encephalitis, corneal inflammation of the eyes[1][2][3], and conjunctivitis[4].
Prognosis
Uncomplicated cases resolve within 2 to 4 weeks. Historically, the case fatality ratio of monkeypox ranged from 0 to 11 % in the general population. More recently, the case fatality ratio was estimated at 3 to 6%. In the 2003 outbreak in the US, no deaths were reported.
