The man suffered from fever and fatigue, and pus-filled bumps were also seen all over his body, including his appendages and face.

The 36-year-old Italian man had developed symptoms such as fatigue, fever and sore throat 9 days after returning from a trip to Spain from 16 to 20 June, where he engaged in unprotected intercourse with men.

He later tested positive for Covid on 2 July, and developed a rash on his left arm later that afternoon; and the next day, he found painful blisters all over his body.

The blisters then spread and became pustules 2 days later, and he then sought treatment at a hospital in Italy, where he was then sent to the Infectious Diseases Unit where he was found to be infected with monkeypox.
