Abstrakt:	Monkeypox virus belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus There was a worldwide mpox outbreak in 2022, with many cases reported in Europe in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. Here, we report a case of mpox diagnosed in a heterosexual woman in her twenties without any known history of exposure. This is a very rare event. Despite lesions remaining for more than 1 month, she recovered fully with no sequelae. We highlight the diagnosis of mpox in a heterosexual woman without a known or suspected history of exposure or any risk factor for acquiring the infection.
