Description
Introduction Dog bite injuries represent a serious medical and public health problem affecting 1.5% of the US population annually. (1) An estimated 4.7 million people are bitten annually and of these approximately a fifth (19%) require medical attention. (1,2) Most studies report that children, especially boys aged 5-9 years, have the highest incidence of suffering a dog bite. (2-4) The face, head and neck areas are involved in 50--70% of these injuries. (2,5-8) This is in contrast to adult victims who suffer only 5 to 15% of animal bites to the head and neck. (2,9) Injury severity can range from minor lacerations to death. Moreover, many children who are attacked by dogs develop post-surgical complications and require revision procedures.
