An estimated 50% of people in the United States will incur an animal or human bite wound at least once in their lifetimes. Although the majority of these individuals do not seek medical attention, bite wounds to the head and neck are a common reason for emergency department visits. Facial bites are complex injuries due to the functional and cosmetic nature of the area, as well as the unique polymicrobial infection potential that exists. We present a review of the epidemiology and microbiology of bite injuries to the head and neck and provide evidence-based recommendations regarding surgical wound closure and antibiotic therapy.
据估计，美国有50%的人一生中至少会遭受一次动物或人咬伤。虽然这些人中的大多数不会寻求医疗救治，但头颈部咬伤是急诊就诊的常见原因。由于该区域的功能和美容特性，以及存在独特的多种微生物感染可能性，面部咬伤是复杂的损伤。我们对头颈部咬伤的流行病学和微生物学进行了综述，并就手术伤口闭合和抗生素治疗提供基于证据的建议。
