Abstract
Tanapox is a rare pox disease endemic in East Africa. We report the first case of tanapox in a European traveller who contracted the disease in 1999 during a short visit to Tanzania. The diagnosis was made on clinical grounds and confirmed by electron microscopy and a tanapox virus-specific PCR assay.Entities:
