ABSTRACT

We report a 4-year-old female who developed an orf nodule that became secondary infected with bacteria after being bitten by a goat. After excisional curettage and two cycles of antibiotics the non resolving lesion disappeared. We report this case due to the low incidence in urbanized areas and to help other physicians in getting to a prompt diagnosis and treatment.
