Antibiotic Management of Animal Bites in Children During the Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Era

Abstract: Children presenting to an emergency department following an animal bite were found to be at risk for infection if they had puncture wounds, crush wounds, or were bitten by a cat. Of the infected wounds that were cultured, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was not isolated as a pathogen.

“…In this study, isolation of some MRSA may support the growing concerns sorrounding the role of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) in skin and soft-tissue infections as well as whether MRSA is a key pathogen in infections following animal bites [ 54 ]. The isolation of MRSA from dog bite wounds is not surprising because several studies have reported its existence in dogs [ 55 , 56 ].…”

“…Esta variabilidad puede deberse a las distintas definiciones adoptadas para considerar como grave o potencialmente grave una mordedura. El porcentaje de complicaciones por mordedura de animal es heterogéneo (10-50%), dependiendo de la edad del niño, del estado de salud e inmunidad, de la topografía de la lesión y su profundidad, y del animal involucrado 5,6,13,14 . Las complicaciones y la necesidad de cirugía reparadora bajo anestesia en bloque quirúrgico constituyen el principal motivo de hospitalización en la población pediátrica, como se observó en esta serie.…”
