TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Infantile trauma due to a rat bite JO - Journal of emergencies, trauma and shock A1 - Sethi, Sidharth Kumar A1 - Saha, Abhijeet A1 - Karela, Mayuri A1 - Dubey, Nand Kishore SP - 409 EP - 410 VL - 4 IS - 3 N2 - We present two cases of extreme neglect with injuries. These are perfect examples of gender bias. Our first case is a 20-day-old female neonate was brought to the pediatric emergency department with multiple rat bites to the face. A 9-month-old female infant was brought to the emergency care division with multiple rat bites on the eyes and upper extremities. These cases point towards the existing gender bias and extreme social neglect of females in the Indian society.
