    Interesting information.
    I have a close case that underwent a PCR for Monkeypox and it was positive, although the lesions did not exactly match what I have seen on the net (Also, I had not been exposed to anyone infected). Weeks later, the dermatologist will treat it as scabies. I would like to know if there is any way to find out if it is possible that it was a false positive.
