Background: Severe burns lead to a profound hypermetabolic, hypercatabolic, hyper-inflammatory state. Pediatric burn patients are at significantly increased risk for infection and sepsis secondary to loss of the skin barrier and subsequent immunosuppression.

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1981
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 ...

Burns, 1985
From August 1980 to June 1982, 102 burn wound specimens taken from 34 patients were studied for anaerobic cultures. Fifteen instances (14.7 per cent) from 8 patients were positive and altogether 12 species were found. The predominant anaerobes were Bacteroides melaninogenicus, Peptococcus, Bacteroides fragilis, and other strains of Bacteroides and ...

Infections remain a leading cause of death in burn patients. For patients with burn size greater than 40% TBSA, 75% of all deaths are due to infection. Traditionally, gram-positive bacteria infect wounds during the first 48 hours after burn, followed by gram-negative and yeast in the next 5 to 7 ...

Burns, 1982
In a recently opened burn unit which used a semi-isolation technique to treat burn patients, burn bacteriology has shown the usual pattern of bacterial cultures i.e. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and proteus; with the first two predominating.

Mycoses, 2001
Summary. In a prospective study, 132 patients were investigated for yeast infection of burn wounds. Ten patients (7.6%) were infected with Candida species. All patients with yeast infections were also infected with bacteria with the exception of one patient who was infected with Candida tropicalis alone.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1971
Abstract The clinical and pathologic features of sixty-four cases of infection of the heart in 3,064 burned patients are reviewed. In the majority of the cases, the heart became involved as part of a generalized septicemia with a portal of entry through either the burn wound or an infected cannulated vein.

Infection Control, 1983
AbstractPrevention and treatment of burn wound infection requires knowledge of the epidemiology of such infections. Prevention of infection rests on removal of reservoirs or sources of microorganisms from the burn patient's environment and interruption of transfer of microorganisms to the surface of the wound.

Abstract Systemic infection is the most common cause of death in the burn patient when all sites of infection are combined (lung, wound, and other). This is likely due to a combination of immune suppression, lung parenchymal damage from smoke inhalation, and the fact that, while massive bums can be excised, there is still no way to ...

Systemic sepsis resulting from invasive infection remains the leading cause of death among patients hospitalized with major thermal injury. Prevention of infection and death in burn patients requires a thorough knowledge of the multiple predisposing factors involved and expert application of appropriate diagnostic, supportive, and therapeutic ...
