Dog bite wounds: A retrospective study (114 cases)

Bu çalışmada, Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Anabilim dalında 1999-2003 yılları arasında tedavi edilen 114 ısırık vakası epidemiyojik olarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, köpekler tarafından ışınlan kedi ve köpeklerin yas, ısırık seldi, ısırılma zamanı ve ışınlan vücut bölgesine göre toplu bir değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Erkek köpekler dişi köpeklere nazaran daha sıklıkla ısırılmıştır. Işınlan köpeklerin %61'ni küçük cüsseli, %14'nü orta cüsseli ve %24'nü iri cüsseli hayvanlar oluşturmuştur. Işınlan köpeklerde ortalama yaş 2 civarında kedilerde isel.5 civarındaydı. Köpeklerde ısırık yaralanmalarının, en çok Mayıs (%16), Nisan (%11) ve Ekim (%1~0) aylarında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kediler köpeklere nazaran daha az sıklıkla köpekler tarafından ısırılmıştır.
