Orf, a viral zoonotic disease, is transmitted to humans from small ruminants such as sheep or goats. It usually progresses with one or more nodular lesions appearing on the dorsal surface of the fingers. Orf disease may sometimes present differently from its typical location and clinical presentation. Here, we present 2 orf cases that occurred after burns. Both patients' family members had a history of contact with sheep and goats. The diagnosis of orf was based on clinical findings, a history of animal contact, and exclusion of differential diagnoses. In both cases, the lesions healed with mild hyperpigmentation. © 2022 OrtadogŸu Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.. All rights reserved. |
