Abstract:
The burn related septicaemia were a major complication in burn infection with mortality is very high. Research on 203 patients who suspected burn related septicaemia were given emergency at The National Institute for Burn from June, 1996 to Feb, 1997 suggested that bacterial were found 42/203 (20,72%), bacteria were isolated, that are P. aeruginosa (69,05%), S.aureus (21,43%), mortality of septicaemia patients were 32/42 (76,19%). Among them P. aeruginosa induced 23/32 (71,19%). There are very high correlation between bacteria induced septicaemia and burn infection. Rate of burn septicaemia increase with amount of bacteria in 1 square cm of burn, deep level of burn and large area of burn. Burn septicaemia occurs mostly after 2 weeks.
