Par·a·pox·vi·rus

(par'ă-poks'vī'rŭs),
The genus of viruses (family Poxviridae) that includes the contagious ecthyma of sheep, bovine papular stomatitis, and paravaccinia viruses. They possess the nucleoprotein antigen common to all viruses included in the family but differ from other poxviruses in morphology (for example, virions are smaller and have thicker external coats) and by not multiplying in embryonated eggs.

These results suggest the patients had previous OPXV infections, given that an active parapoxvirus infection was demonstrated in patient 4 and vaccination could be ruled out for patients 10 (a 20-year-old) and 14 (a 24-year-old) based on their age.

Histopathology indicated nonspeciiqc inflammation, but serologic evaluation revealed parapoxvirus IgM >1:160 and IgG of 1:512, consistent with current or recent parapoxvirus infection.
Negative-stain electron microscopy can confirm a parapoxvirus infection by demonstrating classic ovoid cross-hatched virions (Figure 2) but cannot distinguish orf virus from other parapoxviruses such as paravaccinia (pseudocowpox) virus; serologic testing has the same limitation.
