Contagious ecthyma in man.
The virus of contagious ecthyma of sheep and goats is transmissible to man. The human infection is a relatively benign, self-limited disease. It is frequently encountered in sheep-raising areas among persons handling infected animals or the vaccine. Usually only protective treatment is required, but x-ray therapy will produce prompt regression of the skin lesions.
