[Dynamics of the morphological changes in a burn wound during treatment in a controlled abacterial environment]

Histological and histochemical research methods were used to examine the healing of burn wounds treated under bandage and in monitored abacterial environment (open type treatment). Biopsies of burn wounds were investigated in 40 patients. It was shown that upon the treatment in abacterial environment the wound heal 10-12 days more rapidly as compared to those treated under bandage. Upon open type treatment there was an early appearance of fine granulations with marked macrophagal and fibroblast reactions, whereas under bandage there formed edematic granulations with high content of lymphoid and plasma cells.
