Treatment of Severe Ocular Mpox with Cidofovir and Tecovirimat

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Mpox, a reemerging zoonotic disease since 2022, primarily affects the skin; ocular involvement is rarely reported. We present a case of mpox-caused disciform keratitis treated with a combination of cidofovir and tecovirimat. The patient recovered without residual ocular sequelae, suggesting these drugs are an option to treat ocular mpox manifestations.
