Response to: ‘Human orf complicated by epidermolysis acquisita’

Abstract

Dear editor, we read with great interest the article 'Human orf complicated by epidermolysis bullosa acquisita' by Zeulgaray and colleagues.¹ Recently, a Moroccan patient who contracted orf (fig. 1a) after slaughtering a sheep during Eid Al-Adha was admitted to our hospital and developed a similar pruritic vesiculobullous eruption predominantly on the hands and forearms (fig. 1b). Hematoxylin and eosin staining of punch biopsies from areas of the vesicullobullous eruption showed spongiotic dermatitis with eosinophilia, most consistent with an id reaction.
