Abstract

Tecovirimat is the only antiviral with conditional and emergency approval for treatment of monkeypox by the European Medicines Agency. We present longitudinal virologic data of three patients with severe monkeypox treated with Tecovirimat. These patients presented with underlying comorbidities (ulcerative colitis; acute syphilis; HIV infection) and higher baseline monkeypox viremia compared to patients with less severe disease courses. Tecovirimat was well-tolerated, and clinical improvement was observed. In median viremia decreased by more than 2 logs within one week of therapy.
