    AbstractHuman bites are common during childhood and usually result from fights or aggressive play with another child. Bites may present as indentation marks, scratches, abrasions, contusions, or lacerations. Most human bite wounds are sustained on the upper extremities, followed by the face and neck, the trunk, and the lower extremities. Infection is the most common complication. Cultures of an infected bite wound yield an average of five microorganisms. This article reviews the current recommendations on the management of human bite wounds in children.
