ABSTRACT

Dog bites is a common condition in our environment. Most cases are treated in the emergency department and only a percentage of patients who have complications merit hospitalization. An adequate examination should be performed because the type of wound and the clinical findings modify the therapeutic behavior. Laboratory and imaging tests help us confirm cases in which associated injuries and complications are suspected. The indications and contraindications for wound closure are currently under discussion. Prophylactic antibiotic treatment does not reduce the incidence of infectious complications and therapeutic regimens should only be initiated once an infection is confirmed.
