Conclusion
In conclusion, we reported that among the GI manifestations presented by
Mpox patients, anorexia was the most reported symptom, followed by
nausea and/or vomiting, proctitis, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Studies
have suggested that the presentation of proctitis could warrant a high
suspicion of Mpox, especially during the ongoing Mpox outbreak. Further
studies should be conducted to determine whether Mpox patients who
presented with GI and/or liver manifestations had more severe disease
and/or worse prognosis, such as but not limited to a longer length of
hospital stay. Additionally, studies should better report any liver
manifestations encountered in Mpox patients, which are severely lacking.
