title: Quantification of cell types in human granulation tissue.
abstract: This study is concerned with acute surgical granulating wounds such as those which follow excision of hidradenitis suppurativa. The Wound Healing Research Unit, Cardiff, frequently assesses the effect of new dressing materials on such wounds. The aim was to establish the normal histological findings during healing in these wounds before examining the effects of active agents on them. No detailed information has been found in the literature on histological findings in non-experimental human wounds.
