title: [Experiences with the use of cerium nitrate silver sulfadiazine in the local treatment of thermal injuries in childhood].
abstract: Ointment containing cerium nitrate and silver sulphadiazine (Flammacerium) was applied to 47 children with second-degree to third-degree thermal injuries, with something between five and 60 per cent of the body surface being affected, as had been reported in a one-year prospective study. This ointment proved to be superior to several alternative approaches with regard to local properties, antimicrobial effectiveness, and applicability to several degree of burns. The process of treatment can be optimised due to unproblematic applicability in open and closed variants under both hospitalised and outpatient conditions. This assessment has been underlined by good to very good therapeutic results.
