Human labial orf: a case report
Abstract
A case of orf in a 59-year-old man with no direct contact with farm animals is reported. The patient presented with an ulcerating lesion on the upper lip and the diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopy from a smear of the lesion. The unusual case history, differential diagnosis and method of diagnosis are discussed.
