Abstract

An HIV+ patient presented with human monkeypox and ENT was consulted to rule out a deep neck abscess. Flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy showed severe laryngeal edema and new findings consistent with laryngeal HMPX. The patient was monitored for a potential difficult airway situation, started on appropriate treatment, and showed symptom resolution. Laryngoscope, 134:1340-1342, 2024.
