Background/Objective: This study is to identify the epidemiology and clinical features of Mpox in Jakarta that just reemerged in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design to describe the epidemiological data, clinical features, and mortality of Mpox patients from August 2022 to December 2023. In addition, this study also aims to identify the differences in both epidemiology and the clinical features of Mpox in HIV (PLHIV) and non-HIV patients (non-PLHIV). Results: Our study shows that as of the end of December 2023, 59 Mpox cases were treated in Jakarta. Mpox in Indonesia were mainly diagnosed in male, MSM, and HIV patients. Most patients would manifest with fever, rash, and skin lesions. Syphilis was found as a concomitant infection in this group. Severe manifestations were found among PLHIV without ART. Conclusions: Mpox in Jakarta were found mainly in MSM, especially in PLHIV. There are various manifestations of Mpox, however, the clinical features were more severe in PLHIV without ART. Therefore, a strong surveillance system and spreading awareness regarding vaccination programme is needed to prevent the spread of Mpox. A cautious management was needed especially on PLHIV.
