Infectious Complications After Burn Injury,

Abstract

Since the inception of organized burn care nearly 50 years ago, infections complicating the care of thermally injured patients have been recognized as a major source of morbidity and mortality. The control of invasive infection and burn wound sepsis and improvements in the general care of these critically ill patients have resulted in unsurpassed survival; even so, infection remains the most frequent cause of death in these severely injured patients.
