Coinfection of Monkeypox virus and Varicella Zoster Virus: A Scoping review

   In recent years, although the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has not yet been overcome, a new pandemic caused by monkeypox has created a new global health crisis. Monkeypox is a re-emerging zoonotic disease caused by a virus of the genus Orthopoxvirus that is transmitted by direct, sexual or respiratory droplet contact; its clinical manifestations include fever, rash on the face and extremities and lymphadenopathy. However, cases of coinfection of monkeypox with varicella zoster virus have been reported  even before the monkeypox pandemic was established. In these cases, a difficulty has been noted in making the differential diagnosis of monkeypox, since the clinical picture is usually very similar to that of herpes zoster. This is why the aim of this review is to explore the scope of the evidence on coinfection of varicella zoster virus with monkeypox.</p
