Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to test the use of Tecovirimat (TPOXX ) for Treatment of Human Orthopoxvirus Infections. Tecovirimat (also known as TPOXX or ST-246) is a drug that may help to treat infections caused by pox viruses and reactions to the smallpox vaccine. Eligible Participants: • Have or may have been exposed to a pox virus (such as cowpox or monkeypox) and have developed or may be at risk of developing a serious or life-threatening infection. OR • Have or may have been exposed to vaccinia (the virus in one of the smallpox vaccines that contains live virus) through getting the vaccine, contact with another person who got the smallpox vaccine, or some other way, and have developed a serious reaction.
