Abstract
Human monkeypox (Mpox) is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) present in western Africa and exported sporadically worldwide. MPXV causes illness in individuals and pregnant women which constitute a population at risk with obstetrical and fetal complications including miscarriage, stillbirth and premature delivery. There are accumulated data suggesting a vertical transmission of MPXV from mother to fetus. This review provides an overview of the literature on MPXV infection in pregnant women with a specific focus on vertical transmission.
