To the Editor.— With great interest we have read the article by Avner and Baker1 about dog bites in urban children. We would like to add some results of our own investigations. In childhood, the face is the most frequent site of dog-bite injuries. Gonnering2 described a "central target region," consisting of nose, mouth, and periorbital region, which is afflicted in up to 78% of all children suffering dog bites. In 1990, we studied the clinical course and follow-up of 16 children aged 18 months to 14 years who were treated surgically at our hospital because of facial dog-bite injuries.3

ABSTRACT The exposed position compounded by the short stature of children makes the face very vulnerable to dog bite injuries. Unlike wounds inflicted by assaults and accidents, animal bite wounds are distinctive as they are puncture type deep wounds which are injected by the bite force, with an inoculum of pathogenic bacteria from the saliva of the attacking dog. Hence, these wounds are at high-risk of infection which is further aggravated by the presence of crushed devitalized tissue, an outcome of the bite force. The key points in successful management of facial dog bites, are thorough cleansing of the wound, meticulous but not overzealous debridement, primary closure, appropriate antibiotic therapy and tetanus and rabies immunization where indicated. A case of a 8-year-old child who had succumbed to multiple facial bite injuries is presented. She was managed by a primary one stage closure with good esthetic and functional outcome.
