Many cases of monkeypox have been reported across Europe from early May 2022 onward. Initial publications suggest that nearly all of the affected persons to date have been men who have sex with men (MSM). ⋯ Monkeypox seems to be establishing itself as a new type of STI among MSM. In view of the rising case numbers, there is a need for a rapid information and vaccination campaign in the population at risk. Heightened alertness among phy - sicians is needed as well.
