[Gram-negative infections in severe thermal injury].
Among 78 patients with persistant bacteriemia the latter was induced by staphylococci in 59 and by gram-negative microflora in 19 patients. In 14 of 19 patients gram-negative septicemia was preceded by staphylococcic one. Gram-negative septicemia would condition in patients the development of pyemic foci not only in the wound area but also in some portions of the body and in internal organs as well. Among 19 patients with gram-negative septicemia 12 patients died, while among 59 patients with staphylococcic septicemia there were 18 deaths.
