Granulocyte function and Pseudomonas burn wound infection.
Granulocyte function in burn injury has been evaluated with an in vitro animal assay. Bactericidal activity, using this technique, was markedly depressed only when granulocytes from scald burned rats were challenged with each of three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of autologous postburn serum or heat-inactivated serum. Preincubation of postburn and normal serum at 37 degrees...
متن کاملBurn wound infection.
Ninety-seven of 763 patients admitted to a burn center during a 3-year period had histologically confirmed bacterial or fungal burn wound invasion. Nine of these 97 patients survived and 88 died. Burn wound infection was the principal cause of death in 57 patients and was diagnosed perimortem in an additional 31 patients but was not judged to be the primary cause of death. Pseudomonas aeruginos...
متن کاملFungal Burn Wound Infection
The causative organisms of burn wound infection are aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and yeasts [1,2]. Viral burn wound infection is rarely reported but does occur. Herpes virus family, including herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus, are the most frequent causative agents [3]. However, bacteria are the predominant isolates of burn wound infection. Aspergillus species are the mo...
متن کاملCorrection: Requirements for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acute Burn and Chronic Surgical Wound Infection
Opportunistic infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be acute or chronic. While acute infections often spread rapidly and can cause tissue damage and sepsis with high mortality rates, chronic infections can persist for weeks, months, or years in the face of intensive clinical intervention. Remarkably, this diverse infectious capability is not accompanied by extensive variation in genom...
متن کاملAntibiotic prophylaxis for preventing burn wound infection.
BACKGROUND Infection of burn wounds is a serious problem because it can delay healing, increase scarring and invasive infection may result in the death of the patient. Antibiotic prophylaxis is one of several interventions that may prevent burn wound infection and protect the burned patient from invasive infections. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of antibiotic prophylaxis on rates of burn w...
