MONKEYPOX EVALUATION VIA TELEMEDICINE
Patients who have monkeypox symptoms will be seen via telemedicine for an initial evaluation. If monkeypox illness is suspected by the provider, after discussion with the Chicago Department of Public Health, we will have the patient come into the clinic for testing.
The Chicago Department of Public Health collects all test samples, as the only testing available currently is at the state level, followed by another round of testing at the CDC.
Patients who suspect they have monkeypox can schedule an appointment below with one of our urgent care providers online. Same-day and next-day appointments are available for monkeypox evaluation and testing.
Patients who believe they may have monkeypox will be seen via telemedicine for an initial evaluation. Please schedule below.
MONKEYPOX SYMPTOMS
Per the CDC, monkeypox illness begins with the following:
– Fever
– Headache
– Muscle Aches
– Backache
– Swollen Lymph Nodes
– Chills
– Exhaustion
Approximately 1 to 3 days after the onset of fever, the patient develops a rash. This rash commonly begins on the face and then spreads to other parts of the body. Lesions then progress through various stages before they fall off. Monkeypox illness typically lasts for 2−4 weeks.
