AbstractMonkeypox is an endemic disease in several African countries. In May 2022, an outbreak was reported in dozens of non-endemic countries. On July 23, 2022, the WHO Director-General declared this multinational outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. We report two cases of patients under follow-up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between June and July 2022. Both were men who have sex with men, with the appearance of lesions in the genital area without a prodromal period. In both cases, treatment was carried out in the first instance with suspicion of sexually transmitted infections. We highlight the importance of considering this pathology as a differential diagnosis, taking into account the current epidemiological context.
