Abstract
Domestic animal bites are common in the United States with an estimated
5 million occurring annually. Many of these injuries are managed at home
but over 800,000 present to physicians. Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended
for animal bites to the hands and feet and in patients with a weakened immune
system.
