Victims of human bites to the penis often do not seek timely medical attention and dangerous progression of infection may ensue. We present 5 cases, 1 of which evolved into necrotizing fasciitis of the lower abdomen. Recommendations for management of these wounds include aggressive local wound care, empiric antibiotics and careful observation for necrotizing complications.
