title: Case report: Pig attack with successful postexposure prophylaxis management.
abstract: The domesticated pig or boar is ubiquitous to agriculture around the world and is an important food product in most countries. The males that are able to grow tusks that can approach 5 in are the primary contributor to morbidity and mortality from boar attacks. Literature surrounding domesticated boar attacks is sparse. There are no published cases of domesticated boar attacks that describe successful bacterial postexposure prophylaxis. We present a case report of an attack on an adult female by a domesticated boar.
