Abstract
- Anaphylaxis after an animal bite is uncommon. Especially, anaphylaxis after a hamster bite is very rare with only a few reported cases. A 19-year-old previously healthy female arrived complaining of respiratory difficulty, facial swelling and skin rash after her pet hamster bite. Her symptoms started 5 minutes after the bite and arrived 30 minutes after the incidence. Epinephrine, antihistamine and steroid were injected and her symptoms were relieved. She was discharged 3 hours after treatment with no other complications.
