The toddler was supposedly bitten on the finger, therefore, I would think that local necrosis would be limited to this particular extremity. Even though swelling has been known to spread up the arm, why would the surgical procedure, "amputation" ,of the entire hand be required to save the patient? Would it be do to the fact that a toddler was bitten, and not an adult?
