ABSTRACT

Monkeypox is an emerging viral zoonosis caused by the monkeypox virus (Mpox). Pregnant women are at increased risk of developing serious complications, including miscarriages and birth defects, with potential for vertical transmission to the fetus. The objective of this review is to analyze the available scientific evidence on the effects of Mpox infection on pregnant women and their fetuses, identifying potential maternal and fetal complications.
Mpox represents a significant risk to the health of pregnant women and their fetuses due to potential serious complications and vertical transmission of the virus. It is essential to understand its implications during pregnancy and establish effective management and prevention strategies based on the available scientific evidence.
