Preferred Label : Tanapox;
ICD-11 definition : Tanapox is caused by a yatapoxvirus. It is endemic amongst monkeys in East Africa.
In humans it presents as a single or a small number of umbilicated papules or nodules,
usually on the lower limbs or trunk. It is accompanied by systemic malaise and lymphadenopathy.
The lesions heal with scarring.;
Définition CISMeF : The incubation period in human cases remains unknown, but in a person who underwent
voluntary inoculation, erythema and central thickening appear by the fourth day. Most
patients present a mild pre-eruptive fever that lasts 3–4 days, severe headaches and
backaches, and often itching at the site where the skin lesion develops. There is
initially a small nodule, without any central abrasion. This small nodule soon becomes
papular and gradually enlarges to reach a maximum diameter of about 15 mm by the end
of the second week of infection. The draining lymph nodes are also enlarged and tender
from about the fifth day following the appearance of the skin lesion. The lesion remains
mostly nodular but, ulcerates during the third week and then gradually heals within
5 to 6 weeks, leaving a scar (From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanapox)..;
