N2  - Mammalian bites account for a large number of emergency department and doctor's visits. Children are the victims in more than half of reported cases. Dogs account for the majority of wounds, and almost all fatalities in these cases are due to dog bites. Human bites and cat bites account for the majority of infected wounds. Basic wound care, combined with appropriate antibiotic coverage in high risk wounds, is the most important principle of management.    Keywords: Animal Bites; Dog Bites<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
