title: Plasma amino acid pattern in burn subjects: influence of septicemia.
abstract: A comparison of plasma amino acid levels was made between two groups of burn subjects, septic and non-septic. On day 4 after injury, results do not show any differences between patients who later went on to develop sepsis on day 7 and those who remained non-septic. Similarly, no differences between these two groups were discernable on day 7. Thus metabolic variations induced by septicemia do not seem to modify the usual burn-induced amino acid variations; consequently, plasma amino acid determination in burn patients do not appear to predict septicemia.
