[Efficacy of clinical-serologic diagnosis of wound infection in burned patients].
Titer of antibodies to microorganisms obtained from wound and blood of 46 patients with burns of IIIAB--IV degree was studied. The majority of the burned patients have ability to synthesize antibodies. Agglutination of the bacteria by antibodies promoted location of infectious agent in primary focus and impeded bacteria to spread into blood and generalization of process. Not all microorganisms of wound provoke antibodies synthesis, i.e. wound infection. Therefore bacteriologic study must be supplemented by serum diagnosis. Detection of bacteria in the blood without serologic data do not permit to consider these bacteria as etiologic factor of wound infection.
