Abstract: | In Trinity Hospital, a district hospital in the south of Malawi, over a period of 4 years 60 patients were admitted following injury by crocodiles. All patients were treated by extensive surgical cleaning and debridement, anti-tetanus treatment and broad spectrum antibiotics. Twenty-four patients (40%) had serious injuries resulting in permanent deformity. Only one patient died from sepsis. |
