Infection with the orf virus, also known as contagious ecthyma, is recognized as an occupational zoonosis worldwide. It is diagnosed by cutaneous lesions that progress rapidly from macules to papules, vesicles and pustules. The clinical case of a student of veterinary medicine who had had contact with goats, clinically healthy and without apparent lesions, which occured 19 days ago, is reported. She presented two vesicular lesions that coalesced to form a larger lesion surrounded by an erythematous halo. The lesions were compatible with the classical presentation of those produced by the orf virus in humans. The presence of the orf virus was confirmed by a nested PCR from biopsy tissue. It is one of the first cases confirmed by molecular techniques in humans in Chile.
感染口疮病毒，也称为传染性脓疱性皮炎，在全球范围内被认为是一种职业性人畜共患病。它通过皮肤病变进行诊断，这些病变从斑疹迅速发展为丘疹、水疱和脓疱。报告了一名兽医专业学生的临床病例，该学生19天前接触过表面健康且无明显病变的山羊。她出现了两个水疱性病变，融合形成一个更大的病变，周围有红斑晕。这些病变与人类感染口疮病毒后的典型表现相符。通过对活检组织进行巢式PCR确认了口疮病毒的存在。这是智利首例通过分子技术确诊的人类病例。
