Present workupPresent workupMicrobiologyMicrobiology

Cow Pox Cow Pox
Cow Pox Produce by ( Orthopox virus ) cow pox viruses or cat pox Viruses Rodents harbor - cattle and Humans accidental Hosts Domestic cats get infected.• A contact with cat start the infection• Infection with cowpox virus is more commonly seen among the domestic
cats.• Present as Milkers nodes on hands• Immunological relations in humans like variola infections.
• Produce deep red hemorrhagic lesions on the Chorioallontoic membrane.
• In humans usually appear on hands and appear like vaccinia

How rare the DiseaseHow rare the Disease
• Fewer than 150 cases are recorded worldwide.

Classical ManifestationsClassical Manifestations
• A self limited condition
• 48 % of the cases represent with1 or 2 pocks on hands
• 33% of cases represent on face.
• Quite painful

DiagnosisDiagnosis
• Electron Microscopy
• Inoculation into Chorioallontoic membrane
• PCR.

Buffalo PoxBuffalo Pox
• Derivative of Vaccinia virus
• Water Buffalo harbors the virus Prevalent since the discontinuation of small pox vaccination
• Difficult to differentiate from cow pox
• Human to human transmission possible

Viral IsolationViral Isolation
• The specimen is submitted for characterization of Aetiological Agent with assistance of virology department of Vet nary Medical College
• The virus adopted to egg inoculation observed to be growing without any hemorrhagic pocks (Only congestion )
• Two egg passages processed• Definitive indication of viral growth

How to establish the Final How to establish the Final DiagnosisDiagnosis
• Electron Microscopy
• Polymerase chain reaction
• Molecular studies
• Estimation of antibodies to Buffalo pox

CDC ( Atlanta )CDC ( Atlanta )GuidanceGuidance
• In touch with CDC with clinical details and pictorial presentation, with findings on embryonated egg.
• Informed us to be provisional diagnosis of Buffalo pox

Significance of Buffalo pox in Significance of Buffalo pox in Human infections.Human infections.
• The review of literature not yet recorded the occurrence of Buffalo pox in AIDS.
• The scope to study on academic basis of relation of Vaccinia virus in HIV patients.
• Buffalo pox can spread to close contacts, while serving the infected patients.
• Can spread to cattle in vicinity bring in more human infections.
