All patients identified as men who have sex with men and there was a median age of 41.
"The commonly observed symptom of skin lesions in the anal and penile areas, and the fact that a quarter of the patients tested positive for gonorrhea or chlamydia at the same time as the monkeypox infection, suggests that transmission of the monkeypox virus in this cohort is occurring from close skin-to-skin, for example in the context of sexual activity," says Dr. Ruth Byrne, from the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
