Granulocyte function and Pseudomonas burn wound infection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 C for 1 h resulted in normal phagocytosis. These studies validate an investigation of plasma and/or granulocyte replacement therapy in the burned patient.

متن کاملIncidence and Microorganisms Causing Nosocomial Infections in Ghotbeddin Burn Center of Shiraz, Iran, 2000-2001
Burned patients are at risk of acquiring infection because of their destroyed skin barrier, suppression of immunity, prolonged hospitalization, and invasive therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. Most of the studies on infections in burned patients are focused on burn wound infections, while nosocomial device-associated infections in this patient group are not described well. Therefore, the aim...

OBJECTIVE To determine if local prophylactic application of probiotic bacteria to burn wounds will prevent death in a mouse model of burn wound sepsis. BACKGROUND Infection remains the most common complication after burn injury and can result in sepsis and death, despite the use of topical and systemic antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequently implicated pathogen. Local application ...
