Orf, a viral skin infection contracted from sheep, typically presents benignly in pregnant women. This case highlights a healthy mother and baby, supporting symptomatic treatment for orf during pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Zoonotic viral infections
  • Dermatology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Orf (ecthyma contagiosum) is a zoonotic viral disease primarily affecting sheep and goats.
  • Human orf infection is typically acquired through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials.
  • While generally self-limiting, concerns exist regarding potential complications, especially in pregnant individuals.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old pregnant woman at 34 weeks gestation presented with orf lesions on her forefingers.
  • The infection was acquired after handling sheep approximately one week prior to presentation.
  • The pregnancy and fetal development were uncomplicated.

Findings:

  • The orf infection in the pregnant patient was uncomplicated by systemic or viremic spread.

  • The patient successfully delivered a healthy baby at term.
  • The clinical course suggests a generally benign outcome for orf in pregnancy.

    • Implications:

    • Orf infection during pregnancy appears to have a favorable prognosis for both mother and neonate.
    • Symptomatic treatment is recommended as the primary therapeutic approach for orf in pregnant women.
    • Further research may clarify risk factors for rare complicated orf cases in pregnancy.
