Abstract

Bite is a type of wound received from the teeth of an animal, including humans. Human bites are third leading cause of all bites after dog and cat bites. Human bites are severe wounds due to the risk of contamination with mix oral flora and rapid tissue destruction. Bite wounds created by humans are seen in variety of circumstances including aggression, rape, murder, and child abuse. Oral cavity contains beta-hemolytic streptococci, anaerobes and other microorganisms. There have been reported cases of septicemia, severe necrotizing fasciitis, HIV infection, and death caused by human bites. Early reporting and treatment of bite wounds decrease the number and severity of wound infection. Here, we present the case of human bite in a nine-day-old girl and discuss the treatment approaches in the light of the relevant literature.

Özet

Isırık, hayvan ya da insan dişleri ile oluşturulan yaralanma türüdür. Kedi ve köpek ısırıklarından sonra 3. sırada yer alan insan ısırıkları; karışık oral flora ile kontaminasyona ve enfeksiyon sonucu dokuların süratli tahrip olmasına yol açabileceklerinden ciddi yaralanmalardandır. Daha çok kavga, tecavüz, cinayet ve çocuk istismarı gibi durumlarda karşılaşılmaktadır. Oral kavite β-hemolitik streptokok, anaeroblar ve diğer birçok bakterileri içerir. Isırık sonrası septisemi, ağır nekrotizan fasiit, HIV infeksiyonu, ekstremite kaybı ve ölümler bildirilmiştir. Hastanın erken başvurusu ve tedavisi yara enfeksiyonlarının sayısını ve ciddiyetini azaltır. Yazımızda insan ısırığı ile yüzünden yaralanmış dokuz günlük bir kız bebeğin sunumunu yaparak tedavi yaklaşımlarını literatür eşliğinde tartışmayı amaçladık.
