TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Human infections derived from dogs JO - Postgraduate medicine A1 - Roth, R. M. A1 - Gleckman, R. A. SP - 169 EP - 73, 176 VL - 77 IS - 4 N2 - Infected dogs, including those that appear healthy, have been implicated in the genesis of certain infectious disorders in humans. Failure to appreciate the epidemiologic features of these infections can result in delayed diagnosis and therapy, with occasional fatal results. Efforts directed toward patient education, frequent veterinarian examinations of household pets, and thorough hand washing after animal contact will reduce the incidence of dog-related infections in humans.
