%X Acute generalized peritonitis complicating colonic perforation due to Mpox infection is a rare complication not reported to our knowledge. Clinical features include generalized rashes, infectious signs, and a distended painful abdomen. Management is medical-surgical. We report a case of a 38-year-old patient transferred to CTM/RD Congo for management of an acute surgical abdomen complicating Mpox Infection. Clinical examination on admission noted: fever, peritoneal facies, skin eruptions of different ages, ulcerated and necrotic crusts, and a distended and diffusely painful abdomen. An exploratory laparotomy revealed sigmoidal perforations. Perforated colitis, probably Mpoxic was selected as the cause of the acute generalized peritonitis.
