Severe Burn Injury in a Swine Model for Clinical Dressing Assessment
Published on: November 6, 2018
Abstract:
The preconditions for the development of systemic mycoses, mainly levuroses, caused by opportunistic organisms are particularly favorable in the severely burned patients: on the one hand as a consequence of suppression of immunity, on the other hand by the overgrowth of these fungi in the digestive tract as a side-effect of the antibacterial chemotherapy which is necessary for the treatment of the original disease. Since such mycoses are usually very severe, mostly life endangering, their prophylaxis and early diagnosis are highly important. The aspects and measurements, most important in this connection, are discussed on the basis of our experience.
