摘　　要：The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)is monitoring an epidemic of monkeypox infection in the United States.The outbreak is now global and more than 6900 cases have already been reported.There are 83 confirmed cases among children and adolescents,as shown in the report published on November 3,2022,in the USA.However,monkeypox in pediatric patients is still infrequent(<0.3%of total cases).Among cases in the United States,16 cases were in children<5 years,12 in the age group 5-12 years,and 55 cases in adolescents 13-17 years old.In the adolescent age group,89%were male.For children<12 years of age,close physical contact with an adult household with monkeypox was the primary exposure,but for adolescents,male-to-male sexual contact was found more frequently.The CDC advised United States healthcare providers to remain vigilant for patients with a rash resembling monkeypox,even if there is no history of travel to a country with high risk.This article summarizes the history and epidemiology of monkeypox with a specific emphasis on clinical features and management in pediatric patients.
