Sažetak
Milkers nodule (nodulli mulgentium) is a benign viral skin diseases caused by parapoxvirus, a poxvirus that is endemic in cattle. The virus is usually transmitted to cattle handlers from infected cows. We present a case of a 25-year-old housewife who milked cows on her family farm and developed itchy, purpurish red nodules on her fingers and hands, and lymphangiitis of the right arm. Two weeks before, several cows on her family farm were treated by a vegetarian under the diagnosis of pseudocowpox. She was treated with orally administered amoxicillin with clavulanic acid 2 g for 10 days with complete resolution of lymphangitis. The Nodules resolved in several weeks.
