Abstract
A large, ongoing multicountry outbreak of human monkeypox has the potential to cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Therapeutics for the treatment of smallpox, a related Orthopoxvirus , may be used and affect the natural history of monkeypox. We present 3 patients from our hospitals treated with tecovirimat, a pan- Orthopoxvirus inhibitor currently available under an expanded access investigational new drug protocol for monkeypox.
