- A monkey bite is the bite of a monkey and is the second most common animal bite after dogs in India. Monkey bites account for 2–21% of animal bite injuries. Monkey bites are an important risk among travelers and after dog bites is the most common animal bite for travelers. Treatment depends upon many factors including the suspicion of rabies. Management involves:
* wound cleansing and care
* prophylactic antibiotics
* post-bite rabies treatment
* post-bite tetanus treatment Serious infections can result after a monkey bite. Simian herpes B virus is endemic in some species of Asian monkeys. It was first identified by an investigator was bitten by what appeared to be a healthy monkey. The investigator died shortly thereafter from brain inflammation (encephalitis). Subsequent simian-acquired infections with this virus have occurred with mortality rate as high as 80%. Currently, transmission of the virus through a monkey bite almost always is the result of an occupational exposure by biomedical research workers. The progression of the infection has been described: "[The infection presents with] herpetic skin lesions and sensory changes [are visible] near the exposure site, fever and nonspecific flu-like myalgias and headaches, fatigue, and progressive neurologic impairment, including dyspnea. Once the central nervous system is involved, the outcome is invariably fatal. But with the deployment of antiviral therapy, both for prophylaxis and treatment, cases are now infrequent and deaths are rare, although they have occurred." Prevention is accomplished through education and traveler's warnings. Prevention also includes the surveillance for the presence of rabies within monkey populations. Research is lacking in the assessment of the impact of monkey bites. From 1960 to 2013, 159 cases of rabies infections in humans have been documented as a result of monkey bites. These numbers were gathered from records of traveler's injuries and the prevalence of monkey bites in area residents is assumed to be much higher. (en)
- 猴子咬傷據世界衛生組織統計佔動物咬傷案件的2%至21%，可能造成傷口細菌感染，甚至傳播皰疹B病毒或狂犬病等足以致命的病毒。猴咬傷的處理方式因咬傷部位、病人健康狀況與當地猴群是否可能帶有狂犬病毒而異，清理傷口後可能需服用抗生素以預防細菌感染、施打破傷風疫苗或狂犬病疫苗、以及使用抗病毒藥物預防B病毒感染。 皰疹B病毒是獼猴普遍帶原的病毒，一般不對獼猴造成明顯症狀，感染人類卻可致死，不過目前紀錄感染B病毒的人類病例皆是被實驗室中的獼猴傳染，未有被野生獼猴傳染者。 許多研究統計顯示被動物攻擊而需施打狂犬病疫苗的旅行者中，被猿猴攻擊者的比例僅次於犬咬，且在東南亞甚至可能比犬類攻擊更常發生，有統計顯示1960年至2013年全世界共有25起猿猴將狂犬病毒傳染給人類的病例，其中20起發生在巴西。 (zh)
