摘要：
Most mammalian bites are caused by dogs, cats or humans. Cat and human bites often become infected, so antibiotic prophylaxis should be considered in addition to wound management. Early referral for surgical assessment of human bites to the hand may be required. Amoxycillin with clavulanate is suitable for prophylaxis in most cases. Prophylaxis is usually continued for 5-7 days. Depending on their immunisation status, patients may need vaccination against tetanus.
