Examples of photographs that were digitized, annotated and formatted for electronic distribution during the 2003 outbreak of human monkeypox in Wisconsin. The Marshfield Clinic web site containing these images had over 400,000 page hits during the first eight weeks of the outbreak investigation. A. Clinical photograph of a primary inoculation skin lesion at the site of a previous scratch. B. Light microscopic appearance of the inflammatory response to monkeypox virus infection of the skin. C. Transmission electron microscopy of a skin biopsy demonstrating the dumbbell-shaped inner cores of virus particles characteristic of poxviruses. D. Negative stain electron microscopy of a cell culture supernatant showing several brick-shaped particles of monkeypox virus.
