title: [Some aspects of forensic-medical studies of dog bite injuries].
abstract: The incidence of dog attacks of humans has increased, but no publications or methodological recommendations on this problem appeared. The history of the problem and statistical data reflecting distribution of injuries with regard to sex and age, location of injuries, and time of the day are presented. Signs which help differentiate injuries inflicted by dog and human teeth or injuries with blunt objects are defined. Further investigation of the problem is needed.
