Abstract:
The treatment of second degree burn wounds with glycerol conserved homografts yields good results in comparison with other techniques. However HIV-infection by this way has been reported. Apart from a description of the method of conservation and processing a method is outlined to avoid this path of HIV-infection. The kidney recipients of the respective organ donation is tested 3 month after the transplantation. This regimen nearly eliminates HIV-transfer by the use of glycerol conserved homografts and merits the extra effort in the treatment of second degree burn wounds.
