We describe a case of a 46-year-old man in Missouri, USA, with newly diagnosed advanced HIV and PCR-confirmed mpox keratitis. The keratitis initially resolved after intravenous tecovirimat and penicillin for suspected ocular syphilis coinfection. Despite a confirmatory negative PCR, he developed relapsed, ipsilateral PCR-positive keratitis and severe ocular mpox requiring corneal transplant. |
