Abstract

This article presents the case of a 25-year-old Moroccan male who contracted Orf disease (Ecthyma contagiosum), a common zoonotic viral infection in sheep and goats. The disease, caused by a parapoxvirus, can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals. The patient developed painful lesions on his fingers after interacting with a sheep during the Feast of Sacrifice. Diagnosis was clinically established considering exposure history and lesion characteristics. Treatment involved local antiseptics and 2% fusidic acid cream. The lesions resolved spontaneously over a few weeks without functional impairment.
