Type A intracytoplasmic inclusions in human cowpox infection

Human infections are probably most frequently acquired from infected cats shedding virus from skin lesions, which gain entry to the human skin through abrasions or scratches. 4, 5 Laboratory diagnosis of cowpox may be established by electron microscopy of vesicle fluid, by polymerase chain reaction,...
