Treatment of Mpox: First-Line Supportive Management
Mpox is generally a self-limited infection. In most cases, the clinical course is managed through supportive measures, with additional intervention directed at any complications that emerge.
Treatment Approach
The primary focus is on supportive management. When complications arise — such as secondary bacterial skin infection — targeted treatment may be indicated. The full structured protocol details the complete decision pathway, including when and how to escalate care.
