ABSTRACT

Dog bites represent a motive of frequent consult. This type of accident generates an enormous anxiety for both patients, health care personnel as well as family. Nowadays, establishing an appropriate multidisciplinary management of pediatric victims of a dog attack in the right facial region and the tracking of dogs after an aggression constitutes a challenge to global public health. A review of the literature was performed with the aim of contributing to raising the scientific level of all professionals from related pediatric specialties and personnel from other sanitary institutions involved in the medical and veterinary care of these cases. For its development it was consulted books, serial electronic journals, Google databases, MEDLINE and other bibliographic databases contained at Infomed Virtual Health Library (VHL). It was concluded that related pediatric specialties, the primary health care network and veterinary medical institutions involved in such accidents must step up efforts to inform the community about the risk factors to reduce the frequency of dog attacks in the facial region in children and establish an action protocol destined for the attention of this type of pediatric emergency.
