Stages of orf in humans

Related questions
What is ORF in humans? In humans, orf manifests as an ulcerative skin lesion sometimes resembling bacterial infection or neoplasm. Human infection typically is associated with occupational animal contact and has been reported in children after visiting petting zoos and livestock fairs ( 1 ).
How do you know if you have ORF? Orf occurs in humans with an occupational or household exposure to the virus via infected animals or fomites. The hands are where 95% of cases occur (see the image below). [ 25] The lesions may be pruritic and are generally painless. If the lesions are painful, then secondary infection should be suspected. [ 26]
What are the symptoms of orf virus? Infection with orf virus is usually confined to the epidermis (top layer) of the skin. Lesions (one to a few) or nodules will often occur on the fingers, hands, or the forearms. Lesions begin as small papules that will become ulcerative in nature. Orf virus lesions typically progress through six stages each lasting approximately one week.
How long do orf virus lesions last? Orf virus lesions typically progress through six stages each lasting approximately one week. Other symptoms may include a mild fever, malaise (fatigue), or local swelling of lymph nodes. Lesions generally range in size from 2-3 cm but can be as large as 5 cm. They can be painful but usually resolve on their own without scarring.
