Burns cause a higher susceptibility to infection as compared to other forms of trauma, because of extensive skin barrier disruption, a higher proportion of moist and dead tissue, compromise of the immune system, prolonged hospitalization, and the need for invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This causes a very high increase in morbidity and mortality; and is adequately represented by the fact that nearly 75% of all deaths following burns are related to infection. Modern treatment modalities include the adoption of strict aseptic precautions, appropriate intravenous fluid therapy and antibiotics.
