Bite-related and septic syndromes caused by cats and dogs. Lancet Infect Dis. Jul 2009;9(7):439-47. ) :
* Culture for aerobes and anaerobes if abscess, severe cellulitis, devitalized tissue, or sepsis is present
* Use saline solution for wound irrigation
* Debride necrotic tissue and remove any foreign bodies
* If fracture or bone penetration has occurred, radiography is indicated (MRI or CT may also be indicated)
* Initiate prophylactic antibiotics in selected cases (based on type and specific animal species involved)
* If methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is suspected, first-line antibiotics include trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, doxycycline, minocycline, and clindamycin [24]
* Hospitalization is indicated if fever, sepsis, spreading cellulitis, severe edema, crush injury, or loss of function is present; also consider hospitalization for patients who are immunocompromised or are likely to be noncompliant
* Administer tetanus booster (if none given in past year) or initiate primary series in nonvaccinated individuals (see Tetanus for further recommendations)
* Assess the need for rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin (see Rabies for further recommendations)更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
