Fibronectin assay and microbiological I aspect of burned patients

Abstract
The present study was performed on bum patients admitted to the bum unit, Ain Shams University. Fifty seven burned patients were examined. Swabs and blood cultures were collected and cultured on MacConkey and blood agar. The microorganisms isolated were purified and identified and their sensitivity to certain antibiotics was carried out. The emergence of new pathogens and the ability of those patients to develop bacteremia were also examined.
Platelets and white blood corpuscles (WBCs) were determined. Fibronectin assessment by radial immunodiffusion of plasma samples taken from patients upon admission and on different postburn days was also carried out.
The following results were obtained:
• Flame injury was the most common cause of burn injury followed by other type of bums.
Gram- negative bacilli formed most of the isolates (62.5%), while Gram- positive isolates represented 21.7% and the 15.8% were mixed infection.
Pseudomonas aernginosa was the major cause of wound infection (43.3%), followed by Klebsiella and staphyloroaus (14.2%) and (13.3%) respectively.
eAdnetoba.cteremerged as a new pathogen in the burn unit accounting for 5% of the total isolates. They showed great resistance to currently used antibiotics.
