Activity of the reticuloendothelial system in the course of experimental burn disease
Abstract:
The influence of extensive thermal on selected functions of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) was studied in 35 rabbits of both sexes. Phagocytic activity was evaluated by the method of Malpern et al. and by the isotope method. The results indicate marked prolongation of the depression of phagocytic function of the RES in the course of burn disease. In animals which died early in the course of burn disease, RES activity was depressed throughout the period of observation. In animals which survived burn disease, RES activity underwent periodic changes.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
