Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Orf is a viral zoonotic skin disorder which is also called ecthyma contagiosum. The disease primarily affects sheep and goats, however it can be transmitted to humans through close contact with infected animals. Orf presents with characteristic skin lesions and the diagnosis of orf is usually made based on its clinical features. Hereby, we present a 21-year-old female patient with orf disease with a characteristic clinical lesion on her hand.
