Abstract:
Human infection with Orf virus is a rare zoonotic disease in clinical practice,mainly caused by human contact with infected sheep or its pollutants.It is commonly seen in shepherds and slaughterhouse workers.The le-sion mainly involves the skin.Since it is rare in clinic and difficult to diagnose and treat,it is easy to be misdiag-nosed and underdiagnosed.This paper reports a case of human infection with Orf virus,with locally dense skin le-sions.The clinical diagnosis and treatment processes of this case are analyzed,and relevant literatures are reviewed retrospectively,so as to improve clinical understanding on this disease.
