Abstract

One of the reasons of skin and soft tissue infections are infections due to animal bites. People who live in places where wild animals are found or travelers visiting these places are more likely under the risk of animal bites. These people should be careful about animal biting and after exposure should take appropriate treatment and use regularly. Interruption of treatment and poor wound cause to soft tissue infections. 

We aim to present this soft tissue infections due to animal bites for those who are living in areas where the wild animal population is and that could create risk for travelers to those area.

In this case, we presented a seven years old child with a monkey bite and his delayed wound recovery due to insufficient public health conditions.

Abstract

Deri ve yumuşak doku enfeksiyonlarının bir nedeni de hayvan ısırıkları sonucu olan enfeksiyonlardır. Yabani hayvanların yaşadığı bölgede yaşayan veya bu bölgeye ziyaret edenler hayvanlar tarafından ısırılma riski altındadır. Bu kişiler hayvan ısırığına karşı dikkatli olmalı, maruziyet sonrası gerekli tedaviyi almalı ve düzenli kullanmalıdırlar.

Biz; yabani hayvan popülasyonun olduğu bölgede yaşayan ve bu bölgeye ziyarete gidenler için risk oluşturabilecek hayvan ısırığına bağlı yara yeri enfeksiyonlarını sunmayı amaçladık.


Bu vakamızda yedi yaşındaki bir çocuğun maymun ısırığı sonrası yetersiz halk sağlığı koşullarından dolayı gecikmiş yara yeri iyileşmesini sunduk.
