Abstract

The Human monkeypox is a viral zoonosis which was first reported as a human disease in Zaire (present day Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1970. Outbreaks of the disease have occurred, though rarely, in some West African countries including Nigeria since then. However, in 2017 there was a large outbreak in Nigeria affecting a lot of states. We wish to report the cases that were identified and managed successfully in Makurdi, Benue state because of their unique presentation as all but one of the patients had HIV coinfection which possibly was a risk factor for the monkeypox viral infection
