#Mpox #Epidemiology & #Risk #Factors, #Nigeria, 2022, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/9/24-0135_article
Odds of being mpox+ were higher for adults with #HIV & lower for those co-infected with #varicella zoster virus (VZV). No #children were HIV+; odds of being mpox+ were higher for children with VZV infection. Our findings indicate mpox affects primarily adults in Nigeria, partially driven by sexual activity; childhood cases were driven by close #contact, #animal exposure, and #VZV co-infection.

Steroids are very effective immunomodulating drugs. BUT they do increase the risk of some infections.
This is a nice review describing what infections steroids make you susceptible. The immunology affected is discussed but harder to pin down, as likely context dependent.
