Abstract

Cougar attacks on humans are increasing. Presented is a case report of a nonfatal 2-year-old male cougar attack on an 8-year-old girl in British Columbia. Discussions of wound management, rabies postexposure prophylaxis (RPEP), and the possible psychologic ramifications of such an attack are presented. Also reviewed are recommendations on actions that may be helpful in preventing an attack following a sudden encounter with a cougar. Humans must learn to coexist with cougars, which present a small but real threat to people.

摘要

美洲狮对人类的攻击事件正在增加。本文呈现了一例发生在不列颠哥伦比亚省的非致命性美洲狮袭击事件，一只两岁的雄性美洲狮袭击了一名八岁女孩。文中讨论了伤口处理、狂犬病暴露后预防措施（RPEP）以及此类袭击可能产生的心理影响。同时还回顾了一些在突然遭遇美洲狮时可能有助于预防袭击的行动建议。人类必须学会与美洲狮共存，因为它们虽然对人类构成的威胁较小，但却是实实在在存在的。
