[Study of the zinc levels in serum and erythrocytes in burn patients (author's transl)].
Following a statistical study of four groups of burned people, determined in function of the UBS coefficient, a curve of blood zinc variations has been drawn:Immediately after burning, blood zinc is low. It rises to normal and then increases above normal. A group of patients (very serious or lethal burns) definitely differs from the others in respect of an important and persistent fall of blood zinc. These blood zinc values suggest a possible need for a zinc supply to this group of patients.
