Ecthyma gangrenosum-like lesions: a sign of disseminated Fusarium infection in the neutropenic patient.

Fusarium is a saprophytic fungus of soil causing disease in plants and animals. In the immunocompetent patient, Fusarium is non-invasive, colonizing wounds, ulcers or nails. In the immunocompromised host, however, especially in those whose neutrophil and macrophage function is deficient, it can cause devastating systemic infections. Skin lesions are an early feature of the disseminated disease. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are mandatory in order to give the patient a better chance of survival, reported mortality rates being as high as 90%.

Severe long-lasting contagious ecthyma infection in a goat's kid.

In this report we describe an unusual orf infection in a goat's kid, which lasted for 6 months. The disease was reproduced in two susceptible goat kids, which both completely recovered within 37 days. Further clinical observations on these kids for 12 months did not reveal any signs of orf disease. The orf virus was isolated and identified from the animals which were involved in the original outbreak, from the kid that showed the long-lasting disease and from the experimentally-infected kids. The situation is discussed.
