Ein Orf-Fall ohne direkten Tierkontakt
An Orf case without direct contact to animals
Zusammenfassung
Das Orf-Virus wird meist durch direkten Hautkontakt mit infizierten Ziegen oder Schafen auf den Menschen übertragen. Nach einer Inkubationszeit von 3–10 Tagen manifestiert sich das Ecthyma contagiosum an den Kontaktstellen, meist der oberen Extremität, mit derben, erythematösen Knoten und begleitender Lymphadenopathie, wobei es i.d.R. innerhalb weniger Wochen zu einer spontanen Abheilung kommt. Hier präsentieren wir den Fall einer 44-jährigen Patientin, die sich ohne direkten Kontakt von einer infizierten Kuh mit dem Parapoxvirus angesteckt hat.
Abstract
The Orf virus is usually transmitted to humans through direct skin-to-skin contact with infected goats or sheep. After an incubation period of 3–10 days, ecthyma contagiosum manifests itself at the exposed body sites, usually of the upper extremity, with indurated, erythematous nodules and associated lymphadenopathy. Usually the lesions heal spontaneously within a few weeks. Here we present the case of a 44-year-old female patient who contracted the Parapox virus without direct contact from an infected cow.
