Orf virus infection is endemic among sheep and goats, and can occur in humans who handle these animals. Orf virus infection in humans causes a characteristic skin lesion, and systemic symptoms can occur. Very little is known about Orf virus infection in human pregnancy. A case of Orf virus infection, with onset at 33 weeks gestation, is presented. There were no pathological findings in the infant born at term, or in the placenta.
羊痘病毒感染在绵羊和山羊中呈地方性流行，可发生于接触这些动物的人类身上。人类感染羊痘病毒会引发特征性皮肤损伤，还可能出现全身症状。关于人类孕期感染羊痘病毒的情况，人们了解甚少。本文报告一例妊娠33周时发病的羊痘病毒感染病例。足月出生的婴儿及胎盘均无病理发现。
