title: [Treatment strategies in bite injuries].
abstract: Animal and human bites are a extremely common problem. Despite the prevalence of this problem, few systematic studies have been done. There is astounding sparsity of factual information in the literature to aid the therapeutic decision. Crucial questions regarding suturing, antibiotics, and other matters have been left unanswered. Therefore the literature was reviewed and therapeutic guidelines extracted.
