Description:

Updated August 22, 2022

Effective communication and precautionary measures between specimen collection teams and laboratory staff are essential to maximizing safety when manipulating specimens suspected to contain monkeypox virus.

This is especially relevant in hospital settings, where laboratories routinely process specimens from patients with a variety of infectious and/or noninfectious conditions.

A labeling system should clearly distinguish all specimens, including those from patients with suspected monkeypox virus infection, which require special handling.

Laboratory exposures to poxviruses occur primarily through needle-stick injuries, direct contact with the specimen or aerosols that laboratory procedures may generate. Sharps should not be included with any specimens and should be disposed of in appropriate puncture-resistant containers for the autoclaving of infectious waste.
