Abstract

Background: Wound INFECTION is a frequent and severe complication in BURN patients accounting for a high number of mortalities. There are some reports comparing SWAB and BIOPSY cultures of wounds of various etiologies or chronic wounds.Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate BURN wound INFECTION by different bacteriologic methods of surface SWAB and tissue BIOPSY culture and see if they can predict the outcome.Methods: Aprospective study was conducted in Shahid Motahari BURN Center, Tehran, on patients suffering from BURNs with more than 20% of TBSAadmitted in 2001-2002. Wound SWAB and BIOPSY specimens were collected within the second week. Patients were followed to the point of their discharge or death.Results: Bacterial growth was reported in 100% of SWABs, in 89.3% of the biopsies in differential culture media, and in 18.7% of the biopsies in selective culture media. These different cultures had similar pathogen reports. Of the 75 studied patients, 78.7% died. The frequency rates of positive tissue cultures and bacterial load were not different between the dead and those who survived.Conclusion: Bacteriologic methods do not have enough predictive value to assess clinical outcome.
