title: Enhancement of burn wounds healing by platelet dressing.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of platelet dressing in the treatment of burn wounds and compare its results with silver sulfadiazine dressing.
  
  
  METHODS
  Between 21 march 2011 to 21 September, 50 patients with burn injuries were selected by a randomized double-blind controlled trial. In order to eliminate the biological and personal variables among the various treated burn wounds, in the same patient, distal or proximal, lateral or medial part of burn wound were selected for dressing with platelet or silver sulfadiazine. All patients were designated for homologous component use. The dressing was repeated every day up to complete healing.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicated that treatment with platelet enhanced epithelialization and accelerate epithelialization and granulation tissue formation. Platelet dressing to be most significant in this respect compared with silver sulfadiazine dressing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is concluded that topical application of platelet enhanced the wound healing process in burn patients.
