The injury patterns and epidemiologic data of the patients were evaluated. A total of 92 animal bite cases were reviewed. Results and Conclusion: This study was enrolled 49 men (53.3%) and 43 women (46.7%) with an average age of 37.09± 16.65 years. None of them died as a consequence of animal bite. The findings indicate that a significant correlation was found between the site of injury, the type of wound, antibiotic use, and the species of the biting animals [(p=0.001), (p<0.001), (p<0.001)]. Cats were found as the cause of animal bites in 58.7% of the cases. Of the studied cases, 97.8% had received rabies vaccination four times.
