Abstract
A 31-year-old woman presented with orf on the forefingers at 34 weeks of gestation. The disease, contracted after handling sheep a week before, was uncomplicated, and the patient gave birth at term to a normal baby. Although some cases with features suggestive of viremic spread had been described, the authors find an overall benign picture of orf in man and recommend symptomatic therapeutic measures.Keywords
