  • Infectious Diseases
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Penile human bites are infrequent but pose a significant risk of infection.
  • Delayed medical attention in victims of penile human bites can lead to severe outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the potential for severe infections following penile human bites.
  • To present clinical cases and recommend management strategies for penile human bite wounds.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation of five patients with penile human bites.
  • Review of clinical progression and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • One case progressed to necrotizing fasciitis of the lower abdomen.
