Core Tip	Monkeypox (mpox) cases have been reported to WHO from 85 Member States in all six World Health Organization (WHO) regions from January 1, 2022, through August 3, 2022. Over 25000 laboratory-confirmed cases and 122 suspected cases, including 11 fatalities, had been reported to WHO as of August 3, 2022. Most of these cases since May 13, 2022, have come from nations lacking evidence of mpox transmission. Standardized or optimized guidelines are limited for the clinical care of patients with mpox, especially in low-resource settings. This paper aims to review the prevalence, diagnostics, and containment of mpox.
