The virus, which causes orf and induces acute pustular skin lesions in sheep and goats, is transmissible to humans yet is rarely observed in North America. We present a case of a 65-year-old female farmer from Connecticut who contracted orf from her sheep. The clinical and histopathologic features, important to arrive at the correct diagnosis of this uncommon yet important infection, are described. We also discuss the benign nature of this condition and emphasize that treatment is not required.
这种病毒可引发羊痘，并在绵羊和山羊身上诱发急性脓疱性皮肤损伤，它可传染给人类，但在北美很少见。我们报告了一例来自康涅狄格州的65岁女性农民，她从自己的绵羊身上感染了羊痘。文中描述了对于正确诊断这种罕见但重要的感染至关重要的临床和组织病理学特征。我们还讨论了这种病症的良性本质，并强调无需治疗。
