Abstract

This report describes the ocular manifestations in a cohort of patients with Clade I mpox evaluated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from 2007 to 2011, as well as the clinical course of a pediatric patient with mpox associated with ocular disease. Among 216 patients, ocular manifestations were observed in 8.3% of the patients, including conjunctivitis, eyelid lesions, eyelid swelling, eye pain, orbital swelling, keratitis, and corneal staphyloma. These findings highlight the broad spectrum of ocular manifestations with potential sight-threatening consequences in patients with mpox.
