Orf is a common viral infection in sheep. It spreads to humans by direct contact. It is self-limiting, treatment having no beneficial effect. Misdiagnosis by those unfamiliar with its characteristic features is common, and may result in unnecessary treatment with antibiotics or surgery. We present a series of five cases of Orf in children of farmers in the west of Ireland, seen over a 10 year period.
羊痘疮是绵羊常见的病毒感染。它通过直接接触传播给人类。该病具有自限性，治疗并无益处。不熟悉其特征的人常出现误诊，可能导致不必要的抗生素治疗或手术。我们呈现了在爱尔兰西部10年间见到的一系列5例农民子女患羊痘疮的病例。
