[Use of human anti-Pseudomonas immunoglobulins in treatment of children with burns].
This studies included 15 children with burns involving 10-55% of the whole body surface, treated at the two surgical departments in Poland. All patients have been given 0.5 mL of a 15% solution of anti-Pseudomonas immunoglobulin in a deep i.m. injections for 3 consecutive days. Immunoglobulin has generally been well tolerated, except short fever attacks. Human anti-Pseudomonas immunoglobulin prepared in the institute of Haematology and Transfusion in Warsaw prevented infections with P. aeruginosa in 12 burned children. There have been no cases of bacteremia produced by P. aeruginosa in 15 treated children with burns. The obtained results indicate efficacy of such therapy in burned children.
