“…Les plaies peuvent néanmoins être beaucoup plus larges montrant des lacérations tissulaires dans certaines situations, comme lorsque la mobilité , 1997 ;Potter, 2007). L'impact traumatique de ces morsures dépend également de l'environnement dans lequel elles surviennent (pouvant ou non favoriser les surinfections, les blessures complémentaires…), des régions lésées (notamment le visage et les mains) et du profil du blessé (maladie intercurrente, âge,…) (Ward, 2013).…”

“…Selon des sources peu nombreuses, les mustélidés peuvent aussi transmettre les agents de la streptobacillose, du sodoku (Dick & Tunnicliff, 1918, Gaastra et al 2009, du tétanos (Ferrant et al 2008 ;Ward, 2013) et de la tularémie (Callahan, 2008 ;Ward, 2013).…”

“…(Stefanopoulos & Tarantzopoulou, 2005 ;Callahan, 2008, OMS). Il convient de restreindre l'usage des antibiotiques à des fins curatives tout en respectant les usages de ce type de molécules :veiller à utiliser des antibactériens à large spectre de première intention et/ou de réaliser un antibiogramme (tableau 3) (Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits de Santé AFSSAPS, 2005 ;Callahan, 2008 ;Quinet & Grimprel, 2013 ;Ward, 2013 ;Cabrit 2018). Il n'existe pas de preuve tangible que l'antibioprophylaxie, dans le cas des morsures de chiens, de chats et, a fortiori, de mustélidés, ait un effet bénéfique (Quinet & Grimprel, 2013).…”

Mustelids’ bite : anatomical, ethological and pathological data. Mustelids live in almost all land-based ecosystems, on plains, in the mountains, in deserts or on the coast. Each one of them has specificities. However their bite is powerful compared to their small size which makes their restraint a dangerous threat. The scientific literature on the topic is summed up in this article. The anatomical study of mustelids’ skulls shows us why their teeth and musculoskeletal system can cause severe wounds. In regard to their several feeding behaviors, major variations exist despite their common jaw-closing strength. Understanding their behavior allows us appraise the part of the bite within their species or with their environment. As some mustelids are closed to humans, foreseeing handling accidents is necessarily through understanding their behavior, their living spaces shifts and captivity, though there is a clear difference between pet mustelids that can learn on biting and wild mustelids that should not change their behavior. Once biting happened, first trauma is taken over so as to minimize the injury extent. Then infectious side should be considered. On one hand, commensal microorganisms and especially Pasteurella should be treated. On the other hand, regarding to the kind and geographic origin of the mustelid that bite, other public health infectious risks should be considered (rabies, mycobacteriosis, streptobacillosis, tetanus …).

Objective: to evaluate the immediate reconstruction of face and scalp after canine bites in children. Methods: we conducted a prospective series of cases treated at the Emergency Unit of the Asa Norte Regional Hospital, Brasília - DF, from January 1999 to December 2014. At the time of patient admission to the emergency, the primary wound closure of the face and scalp bite was performed, regardless of the time or day of the event. The primary treatment of the bites was by means of direct suture, flaps rotation or grafting, depending on the type of wound and surgeon's decision. Results: the study comprised 146 children, with the zygomatic region and scalp being the main sites of head bites. All patients received surgical treatment within the first 24 hours after admission. There were no infectious complications in the cases studied. Conclusion: the findings suggest that the immediate closure of canine bites on the face and scalp in children is safe, even when carried out several hours after injury.
