Description

A practice article in CMAJ presents 8 images of monkeypox mucocutaneous lesions presenting in Canadian patients from May to July 2022.  The images show a spectrum of common lesions seen in patients with human monkeypox during the 2022 outbreak in non-endemic countries. On this episode, Dr. Sharon Sukhdeo and Dr. Darrell Tan, two co-authors of the article discuss their intention that the image atlas be a necessary corrective to the proliferation of images from endemic countries seen early in the outbreak that primarily featured Black patients, often children. Host Dr. Mojola Omole speaks with these guests about the current epidemiology of human monkeypox in Canada, lessons learned from the 2022 outbreak, the importance of accurately describing who is at risk, and how generating awareness of monkeypox transmission in communities at risk may have slowed its spread.Dr. Sukhdeo is an infectious disease fellow at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Darrell Tan is an infectious disease physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
