Caption:
This 1962 photograph depicted a full-frontal view of a 15-year-old Canadian boy, who was part of a missionary trip to Brazil. The maculopapular lesions were caused by the DNA virus, Variola minor, otherwise known as alastrim. This characteristic rash due was shown two weeks post-onset. Alastrim is a milder form of smallpox, which is caused by Variola major. See PHIL 10426 for a posterior full-body view of this individual depicting the distribution of the lesions, PHIL 10427 for a close-up view of his left wrist and hand, PHIL 10428 for a view of his upper body, and PHIL 10429 for a view of his nose and mouth.
