Clinical and radiological features of severe mpox: a case series of 16 patients in Beijing, China wang2026clinical
Single-center retrospective case series from Beijing Youan Hospital (Beijing, China) including 16 patients with severe mpox and HIV co-infection diagnosed between June 2023 and June 2024. Mpox was confirmed by real-time PCR for MPXV (Ct<40) with vesicular fluid swabs as the primary sample type. Figure-derived CSV provides MPXV PCR Ct values from vesicular fluid at time 0 (reference event not specified in CSV/figure extract; all participants marked symptomatic).

Real-time PCR (qPCR) for MPXV confirmation (Ct threshold for positivity reported as Ct<40); vesicular fluid swabs were the primary sample type. CSV provides Ct values from vesicular fluid at time 0.
Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
