The case of a marine mammal technician who sustained a seal-bite to the hand that produced a lesion clinically very similar to orf is described. Sequence analysis of the viral DNA amplified from the lesion by the polymerase chain reaction indicated that it was sealpox virus in origin. This is the first report providing unequivocal evidence that sealpox may be transmitted to humans and causes lesions very similar to orf.
本文描述了一名海洋哺乳动物技术人员手部被海豹咬伤的病例,该咬伤造成的损伤在临床上与羊痘疮非常相似。通过聚合酶链反应从损伤部位扩增出的病毒DNA进行序列分析表明,其起源为海豹痘病毒。这是第一份提供明确证据表明海豹痘可能传播给人类并导致与羊痘疮非常相似的损伤的报告。
