The ongoing outbreak of monkeypox virus (MPXV) is the largest one in historically non-endemic countries. Early reports described atypical epidemiological and clinical presentations. We investigated MPXV DNA detection in oropharyngeal samples (OPS), and compared the viral load to that in lesion samples at diagnosis in patients infected with MPXV. We retrospectively included patients suspected to have monkeypox in Northern France, who underwent a MPXV PCR in the Virology Laboratory, University Hospital of Lille, from May 23 to August 18, 2022. Overall, a total of 228 patients (376 samples) were included. A positive result in at least one sample was found in 138 patients (60.5%). We compared PCR results between OPS and lesion samples (i.e., cutaneous or anal/rectal samples) in patients with both samples. A positive result in OPS was observed in 54 out of 60 patients (90%). The viral load in OPS (median C |
