Abstract

Statistics of bites of patients in a rural district hospital in Hong Kong were accumulated over a 5 year period from 1984-1989. Analysis revealed a predominance of dog bites. Seasonal variations were noted for snake and insect bites, but not for dog bites. Comparison was made with some UK data.
