dc.description.abstractIntroduction: bites are a relevant health problem, with a varied clinical spectrum, which can cause death. There is limited information about bites in old people (OP). Methods: database analysis made with bites notification forms by health centers and Animal Bites Reporting Protocols in the province of Los Andes, Chile. Objective: typify bites epidemiologically in old people in the province of Los Andes, V region (2005 to 2007). Objective: typify bites epidemiologically in elderly people in the province of Los Andes, V region (2005 to 2007). Results: 234 out of 2358 cases of reported bites occurred in OP (9.92 percent of all cases), with an average age of 70.09 ± 7.896 years (range = 60-95 years). The bite rate for OP was 657.1 per 100000 inhabitants (2005), 745.8 per 100000 inhabitants (2006) and 627.6 per 100000 inhabitants (2007). Of these, most of them occurred in females (56.8 percent) (p 0.016). The most frequent biting animal was the dog in both genders (75.6 percent). The most frequent complication was injury (74.4 percent), followed by cat scratch disease (2.1 percent) and fracture (1.3 percent). There was 1 case of arthritis and 1 case of cellulitis due to spider bite. The most frequent complication was the wound (74.4 percent), followed by cat's scratch disease (2.1 percent) and fracture (1.3 ). There was 1 case of arthritis and 1 case of cellulitis due to spider bite. Conclusions: bites in old people are a cause of relevant morbidity. It is relevant to improve the registration and surveillance systems, and the education measures in responsible animal tenure to achieve a reduction of of cases. More studies are required to determine other complications and consequences of bites in OP not visualized in this study.
