Although burn wound excision and grafting have been shown to improve patient survival, the effects on immune function, especially humoral immunity, are not completely understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of immediate and early wound excision on antibody synthesis and B-cell proliferation, specifically, antibody response to PGPS, a ubiquitous bacterial cell wall an...

The present study attempts to compare how the patients who undergo early excision and grafting behave as compared with patients who are treated along usual conservative lines of management in centers where the resources are less than optimal. The data of 20 female patients were analyzed. Age of the patients ranged between 20 and 30 years, percentage area burn ranged between 20 and 40%, and perc...
