Side effects (100, 14%) and severe adverse events (7, 1%) were rare. The most common long-term sequela was scarring (69, 10%). One hundred and one (14%) were hospitalized. Median time from symptom onset to treatment initiation was 8 days (IQR 6\u201311). Non-Hispanic Black patients had higher risk of initiating tecovirimat \u22658 days after symptom onset (relative risk [RR] = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.2\u20131.7) and being hospitalized (adjusted relative risk [aRR] = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4\u20133.5) compared with Hispanic patients, after adjusting for HIV and insurance status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We described common reasons for tecovirimat initiation and hospitalization.
