Monkey bites in travelers: should we think of herpes B virus?

Nicole Ritz1, Nigel Curtis, Jim Buttery, Franz E Babl.   

Abstract

Monkey bites are frequently reported among children traveling to tropical countries and can be associated with the transmission of zoonoses. Potentially fatal transmission of herpes B virus from macaque bites is rare but well documented in biomedical research facilities. The risk in travelers remains unknown. We report a case of a 7-year-old girl bitten by a macaque on her forehead and discuss her postexposure management.
