Human Orf disease is an exceptional dermatologic benign condition, due to a Parapox virus. In sheep and goats this infection is termed "Ecthyma Contagiosum". Human beings are contaminated from infected animals. We report three cases of Orf disease in the same family. Typical viral particles have been identified in the skin of one of these patients by electronic microscopy but cultures failed to recover the pathogen. A complete study of the literature allows us to review current knowledge on this disease with which practitioners are unfamiliar.
人传染性软疣病是一种由副痘病毒引起的特殊的皮肤良性疾病。在绵羊和山羊中，这种感染被称为“接触传染性脓疱病”。人类通过接触受感染动物而被传染。我们报告了同一家庭中的三例传染性软疣病病例。通过电子显微镜在其中一名患者的皮肤中发现了典型的病毒颗粒，但培养未能分离出病原体。对文献的全面研究使我们能够回顾这种从业者并不熟悉的疾病的现有知识。
