Abstract
Although the 2022 Monkeypox virus epidemic mostly affects males, particularly men having sex with men, transmission to women may also occur. In case of MPXV infection in pregnancy, transmission to the fetus can result in very severe disease. Thus, caregivers should be aware of the measures to be taken according to the available evidence, in case of exposure or in case of symptoms particularly skin rash compatible with this diagnosis in a pregnant woman. Pregnant women should have access to vaccination, vaccinia immunoglobulin or antiviral medications as required.
