ORF Nodule Complicated by Erythema Multiforme: About 2 Cases

View through CrossRef
ORF nodule is a disease caused by a parapoxvirus ovis with epithelial tropism which is transmitted to humans from sick animals, sheep and goats, suffering from contagious ovine pustular dermatosis ecthyma [1]. Common complications of ORF infection have been reported, including secondary bacterial infection, lymphadenopathy, lymphangitis, more rarely erythema multiforme and bullous pemphigoid [2]. We describe here two cases of ORF nodule with secondary erythema multiforme.
