Monkey bites are frequently reported among children traveling to tropical countries and can be associated with the transmission of zoonoses. Potentially fatal transmission of herpes B virus from macaque bites is rare but well documented in biomedical research facilities. The risk in travelers remains unknown. We report a case of a 7-year-old girl bitten by a macaque on her forehead and discuss her postexposure management.
在前往热带国家旅行的儿童中，猴子咬伤的情况屡有报道，且可能与人畜共患病的传播有关。猕猴咬伤导致B型疱疹病毒潜在致命传播的情况虽罕见，但在生物医学研究机构中有充分记录。旅行者面临的风险尚不清楚。我们报告了一例7岁女孩前额被猕猴咬伤的病例，并讨论了她的暴露后处理情况。
