Özet:

Orf is a viral infection caused by orf viruses known as the large DNA viruses within the parapox virus family. The disease occurs in the form of nodules 3-7 days after contact with the goats and will spontaneously heal within 6-8 weeks. However, the immune system may show progressive progression of the disease in depressed cases. In such cases, a rapid recovery with imiquimod cream has been. We offered a 48-year-old female patient developing erythematosal nodular damage after two days of animal contact. Tzanck's spread from the nodular lesion was examined and Guarnieri's body was detected. The developing nodular injury associated with Orf infection was rapidly recovered with imiquimod cream treatment.
