Four patients, with an average age of 58 years, hospitalised in 2008 because of bite wounds to the lower leg, were analysed. The study was based on the analysis of medical records and the results of laboratory and microbiological tests. Precise wound cleansing and dressing, appropriate to each case, are principal elements of management in the treatment of dog bite wounds. Potential complications include limb infection, deformation, and amputation.
