TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Lesions caused by human and domestic and wild animal bites JO - Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical A1 - Haddad Junior, Vidal SP - S0037 EP - 86822022000100208 VL - 55 IS - N2 - Animal bites are a common problem in the emergency room. There are many reports of isolated cases (mainly of domestic mammals); however, texts with more comprehensive and general guidance on these kinds of bite injuries are necessary, including those caused by wild mammals, reptiles, and even fish. This review aims to update knowledge on this problem, which includes human and domestic and wild animal bites. Health teams in emergency care centers should be aware of the initial and late measures required to control this problem.
