Pustular lesions and itching in a couple of young migrants

Two teenage illegal migrants from Bangladesh coming from a Libyan port arrived at Lampedusa Island-Italy.

One of them had also fever and increased c-reactive protein. A real-time polymerase chain reaction assay on vesicle swabs to research monkeypoxvirus DNA and HIV serology was performed for both patients.
