ABSTRACT

Dog bites injuries in people are the most common of bites, followed by cat bites. 90% of injuries in adults occur in the body and only 10% in the head and neck. The wounds of less than 12 hours and in edematous limbs, are often affected by Pasteurella spp., where antibiotic prophylaxis with amoxicillin - clavulanic acid is the recommended treatment. A promptly assessment and early treatment can prevent wound complications and minimize post-traumatic stress after the event.
