Tecovirimat, or TPOXX, can be prescribed for people experiencing severe mpox and anyone severely immunocompromised.
Providers with patients who meet EA-IND eligibility for tecovirimat treatment for mpox should contact their state, local, or territorial health departments to see if any previously deployed tecovirimat supply remains available within their jurisdiction. Previously deployed supply of tecovirimat that still remains within expiry may be used for patients who meet EA-IND eligibility criteria. If there is no local supply, state, local, or territorial health departments should request tecovirimat on providers' behalf by calling the CDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at (770) 488-7100 or emailing poxvirus@cdc.gov.

Increased Commercial Laboratory Capacity for Mpox
MDHHS Bureau of Laboratories (BOL) has the capability to test for orthopoxvirus as the first step in identifying mpox infection. As the need for testing increases, MDHHS is asking that health care providers consider utilizing recently onboarded commercial laboratories to expand testing capacity. This will increase accessibility for patients and health care providers and prevent delays in turnaround times. On June 22, 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that Mpox testing capacity would be expanded to five commercial laboratory companies. Currently, the laboratories that can perform orthopoxvirus testing include Aegis Science, Labcorp, Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Quest Diagnostics, and Sonic Healthcare. Onboarding of new laboratories is an evolving environment—check here for any new labs added: What’s New & Updated | Mpox | CDC.
MDHHS has ensured that positive results from MDHHS BOL and the commercial laboratories will be reported into the Michigan Disease Surveillance System (MDSS) via electronic laboratory reporting (ELR). Mpox cases in the MDSS are currently being classified as an “Unusual Outbreak or Occurrence” until a mpox disease-specific form is finalized.
