  • Title: The dangers of dog bites.
    Author: Wareham DW, Michael JS, Warwick S, Whitlock P, Wood A, Das SS.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 2007 Mar; 60(3):328-9. PubMed ID: 16943221.
    Abstract:
    This report describes an unusual case of endocarditis caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus as a result of dog bite. The diagnosis could be established only by molecular techniques after amplification of bacterial DNA from the infected cardiac valve. The epidemiology and management of Capnocytophaga infections is discussed, as well as the role of prophylactic antibiotics in preventing these infections after dog bites.
