Isolation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Parapoxvirus orf From Outbreaks in Sheep in the Brazilian Midwest. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Introduction This study aimed to isolate Parapoxvirus orf and characterize its genetic diversity through phylogenetic analysis in small ruminants from the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Methods A total of 103 scab samples were collected from sheep affected by nine contagious ecthyma outbreaks across three different mesoregions of Mato Grosso ...

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of TLR-4, HSP-70 and Caspase-3 Expressions in Lesional Areas of Ecthyma Disease. [PDF]
Vet DermatolBackground: Contagious ecthyma (Orf) is a highly contagious, economically significant disease affecting sheep, goats and wild small ruminants, caused by the resilient Orf virus (ORFV). It produces thick, crusted lesions around the mouth and nostrils, especially in animals aged 3–4 months, sometimes causing near 100% mortality in immunocompromised young

When Mind Hurts the Skin: A Rare Case of Dermatitis Artefacta in an Epileptic Female. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT DA is an uncommon psychocutaneous disorder in which the patient intentionally induces lesions to satisfy a subconscious psychological need and, at the same time, denies self‐harm. DA typically presents as bizarre, well‐demarcated lesions in accessible areas. Diagnosis is based on the suspicion and exclusion of organic causes.

An Uncommon Case of Ecthyma Gangrenosum in a Three-Year-Old Immunocompetent Child. [PDF]
Clin Case RepThe necrotic lesions on day 10. ABSTRACT Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a rare cutaneous finding of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis, typically in immunocompromised patients. We present EG with septic shock in a previously healthy three‐year‐old child who presented with rapidly progressing necrotic eschars and severe neutropenia.

Non Pseudomonal Ecthyma Gangrenosum in an Immunocompetent Preterm Neonate: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a rare but severe cutaneous infection, often caused by Gram‐negative organisms. It may indicate sepsis or underlying immunodeficiency, although cases in immunocompetent preterm infants are uncommon. We report the case of a preterm male neonate born at 34 + 5 weeks of gestation from a twin pregnancy, weighing 2030 g.

Molecular Characterisation of Orf Virus in Goats From Eastern Türkiye. [PDF]
Vet Med SciThis study provides the molecular characterisation of Orf virus (ORFV) strains circulating in Türkiye. Phylogenetic analysis of F1L, B2L, and VIR genes reveals high genetic similarity with Asian and global isolates, highlighting the importance of multi‐gene analysis in monitoring viral outbreaks and understanding disease origins.
