    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Orf is a common viral zoonotic disease primarily affecting sheep and goats.
    • Human infections typically result from direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of orf infection in human residents of Missouri are presented.
    • A survey indicated that many Missouri sheep raisers were unaware of orf as a potential human disease.

    Findings:

    • Orf lesions in humans are typically self-limiting and resolve without scarring.
    • Specific therapeutic interventions are generally not required for human orf infections.
    • Complications associated with human orf are rare.

    Implications:

    • Physicians need to be aware of orf to accurately diagnose and manage human cases.
    • Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments.
    • Public health awareness among livestock handlers is crucial for prevention and early recognition.
