Bites from Macaca mulatta monkeys, native to Afghanistan, can cause serious infections. To determine risk for US military members in Afghanistan, we reviewed records for September-December 2011. Among 126 animal bites and exposures, 10 were monkey bites. Command emphasis is vital for preventing monkey bites; provider training and bite reporting promote postexposure treatment.
来自阿富汗本土的猕猴(Macaca mulatta)咬伤可能导致严重感染。为了确定在阿富汗的美军成员所面临的风险,我们回顾了 2011 年 9 月至 12 月的记录。在 126 起动物咬伤和暴露事件中,有 10 起是猴咬伤。指挥官的重视对于预防猴咬伤至关重要;提供者培训和咬伤报告促进了暴露后治疗。
