ASMAA SAID EL-BANNA;
Abstract
Burns represent one of the most devastating and horrifying injuries sustained by man. • The burn injuries remain a prominent cause of death in civilian life and in modem warfare. Many parameters were established to
predict bum severity and outcome which are age, % total body surface area
burned, degree and iQbalatipn.,.
ently,j•y Pth¥rparameters have been
tried to assess the morbidity and mortality of burn injuries.
The present study was conducted to evaluate the role of some biochemical parameters in the blood (interleukin-6, cholinesterase and lactate) as markers in assessment of thei severity and outcome in patients
with different types of burn injuri 'T !
' :
The study was carried out on 30 burned patients with different types and severity of burn. injuries wo.. w,ee d,¢tted to the• Burn Unit at the Alexandria Main University Hq P,it .:. Fifteep.,. healthy individuals were included in this study as a control group. They were matched as regards age and sex with the study group.
All patients. or their relatives were interviewed. Then patients were clinically examined. Venous. blood: sample was collected from the individuals of ,the control group and from each patient on admission and again after five days
