human bite among children how to manage this! I found a guideline of manage this.If u know more plz share. Targeted antibiotic treatment is given for manifest bacterial infections. Its varieties include: • Aminopenicilline +a beta -lactamese inhibiter (oral/intravenous) • Piperacilline /tazobactam (intravenous) • carbapenem (IV) • possibly moxifloxacilin +clindamycin In case of penicillin allergy Recommended duration of antibiotic treatment • cellulitis or abscess one to two weeks • Tenosynovitis two to three weeks • Osteomyelitis, arthritis three to four weeks [10] Infection rate of punctured wounds and wounds greater than 3 cm was 1.5 times higher than for all wounds. Total infection rates within 24 hrs antibiotic administration was 29.3% compared to 65%, <48 hrs and 81% <72 hrs. [11] If the bite appears to be consistent with human bite, the question typically asked by child protective services in whether the bite was caused by an adult or a child. In general, the most common guidelines are that the normal inter-canine distance of an adult is 2.5-4 cm. Any human bite marks with inter-canine distance more than 3 cm is most likely inflicted by an adult. [12] Human bite injuries carry the risk of being infected with bacteria flora of the oral cavity.
