[Leg ulcer caused by a monkey's bite].
35 days following a monkey's bite, the ulcer observed showed total necrosis associated with spotted zones of necrosis due to the deep penetration of the animal's teeth. It was treated like a regular ulcer and healed within seven weeks without complications. One should keep in mind that such ulcers involve infectious episodes due to the transmission of a pathogenic human-type flora through a septic orodental milieu: Pathogenic cocci; Pasteurella, Shigella, Salmonella; Polio viruses or microbial and viral agents of the animal itself, which can cause lethal diseases such as: Yellow fever, Marburg's disease, Rabies.
