本系列病例讨论了在两个牛痘病例中发现的新特征。1例出现上呼吸道症状，确诊为喉局灶性病变。另一例在终末期有中枢神经体征，组织病理学检查发现大脑半球内有胞浆内包涵体。目前，在有神经系统症状或上呼吸道噪音的患者中，牛痘不太可能被考虑。这两个病例都记录了牛痘感染的新表现，临床医生应该意识到这一点，并将其视为具有这些非典型表现的患者的鉴别诊断。
This case series discusses novel characteristics identified in two cases of cowpox. One presented with upper airway signs, and was identified to have a focal laryngeal lesion. The other had central neurological signs at the terminal stages, with intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies identified within the cerebral hemispheres on histopathology. Currently, cowpox would be an unlikely consideration in patients with neurological signs or upper respiratory noise. These cases both document novel presentations of cowpox infection, which clinicians should be aware of and consider as differential diagnoses in patients with these atypical presentations.
