Adrenal Insufficiency Secondary to Monkeypox Infection: A Case Report.

Our case report confirms adrenal insufficiency following three weeks of monkeypox infection in an immunocompetent patient. As there is no specific treatment for monkeypox, steroid replacement therapy remains the cornerstone of managing adrenal insufficiency. By highlighting the importance of early identification and tracing in our case report, we contribute to the growing body of knowledge on monkeypox and emphasize the importance of identifying adrenal insufficiency and other complications like meningoencephalitis, prompting a significant early intervention that can help manage these complications effectively, potentially improving patient outcomes. In addition, understanding disease progression by tracing monkeypox cases provides valuable information on the disease's natural history, including the timeline and sequence of symptoms, associated complications, and outcomes, to avoid any small chance related to our lack of validated knowledge or incorrect assessment of the disease or the associated complications between an exposure and an effect in the target organs.
