A member asked:
What bacterial infection can be mistaken for cowpox, monkeypox, or orf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not many: There are few if any bacterial infections which produce the vesicular eruption typical of these viral illnesses. It is conceivable that an inexperienced observer could mistake this for staph or strep scalded skin syndrome, but not likely.
