Injuries caused by wild boar attacks are rare. A 58-year-old male came to the casualty with the history of wild boar bite. In casualty, he was treated with injection (inj.) Tetglob 500 mg. On the following day, under general anesthesia multiple wound debridement and radical muscle excision were done for necrotized skin and underlying muscles and wound washing done with saline. All the wounds were opened for dressing and the wounds were infected more and more with fungal growth and the surrounding areas were necrotized. His prognosis was very fatal. He was shifted to General Hospital (GH).References
