title: Effects of placental dressing indolent ulcers.
abstract: Fifteen cases of indolent ulcers of varying aetiology were treated by human placental dressing. An equal number of patients treated with antibiotics were taken as control. Human placental dressing for chronic ulcers was found to be effective in wound healing, inexpensive, freely available and devoid of side-effects. The immunological response which produces the clinical results by the use of human placenta has been studied. The raised level of immunoglobulins in the form of IgG and IgM was also seen.
