The percentage of T. verrucosum var. discoides isolated from individual cases occupational contact with cattle were 12 cases(60%).
In conclusion, WBCs counts were found to be 5.5 Thos./UL at time zero, and were increased to 26.4 after 10 days during treatment ,then increased to 59.2 Thos./UL after 10 days of daily treatment, but the count was decreased to 35.1Thos./ UL when the cattle was clinically cured.
