Abstract

Orf, ecthyma contagiosum, is a zoonotic viral infectious disease caused by parapoxvirus that affects particularly sheep and goats. Human may be infected with direct contact with contagious animals or by handling contaminated animal products. Lesions are localized mostly on the hands and fingers, but atypical localizations such as head or face have been rarely reported. Herein, we report a case of orf disease on the eyebrow with clinical follow-up images. Physicians should be aware of the possibility of this entity based on contact anamnesis with infected animals and clinical appearance.
