[The observation and evaluation therapeutic effects of "moist ointment"].
From Mar. 1990 to Feb. 1993, a total of 23 patients with moderate or minor burn cases, who had been treated with "Moist ointment" before admission, were admitted. All the wounds were severely infected except one with scar deformity. 17 cases were complicated by toxic symptoms. 7 cases were accompanied with septicemia and among them 3 cases died with in 48 hours after admission. The mortality was 13%. In 14 cases skin grafting was done. 15 cases had scar deformity in different sites. The incidence of scar formation was 65%. It is our opinion that "Moist ointment" is not a good method in the treatment of burn patients.
