This case report details vaccinia inoculata in a 58-year-old woman presenting with a bullous cheek lesion. Diagnosis was confirmed using electron microscopy, highlighting a rare presentation of this viral infection.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology

Background:

  • Vaccinia inoculata is a rare cutaneous manifestation of vaccinia virus infection.
  • Differential diagnosis is crucial, especially in individuals with potential occupational exposure.
  • Bullous lesions can be an atypical presentation, necessitating thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old woman presented with a unilateral bullous lesion on her left cheek.
  • Her professional background suggested potential exposure to vaccinia virus.
  • The lesion's morphology prompted further investigation beyond typical presentations.

Findings:

  • Electron microscopy using negative staining confirmed the presence of vaccinia virus particles.
  • The diagnostic process integrated clinical presentation with laboratory findings.

  • This case underscores the importance of considering vaccinia inoculata in specific patient populations.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of vaccinia inoculata is essential for appropriate patient management and public health.
    • Electron microscopy remains a valuable tool for identifying viral pathogens, particularly in atypical cases.
    • Healthcare professionals should maintain awareness of rare viral exanthems and their diagnostic pathways.
