Navigating the Intersection of Monkeypox and Pregnancy: A Call for Vigilance and Research.

The recent global spread of monkeypox has raised significant concerns, particularly regarding its impact on vulnerable populations such as pregnant individuals. While limited data suggest possible adverse outcomes, including vertical transmission and fetal demise, there remains a critical need for comprehensive research to inform clinical management and public health strategies. The lack of specific guidelines and tailored public health messaging for pregnant individuals underscores the urgency for focused attention in this area. Addressing these gaps is essential to ensuring the health and safety of both mothers and their unborn children during monkeypox outbreaks.
