초록

We report a case of occupational monkeypox virus infec-tion from a needlestick injury in a healthcare worker in South Korea and review similar reports in the literature dur-ing 2022. Postexposure prophylactic treatment with a third -generation smallpox vaccine and antiviral agent tecoviri-mat inhibited local virus spread and alleviated lesion pain.
