Clinicians

Clinical guidance, including recognition, management and clinical isolation guidance are generally covered by CDC:
CDC Clinical Overview
 
Clinical management for Fleet medical personnel can be found in the NMCFHPC Fleet Mpox Medical Guidance
 
Clinical guidance for MTFs can be found in the DHA Mpox Guidance Update_5Sept2024

Currently, neither mpox testing nor treatment are readily available in a forward deployed operational setting. Units should identify suspected cases, isolate them, and move them for care at an MTF when operationally feasible.
