title: Paediatric wound care.
abstract: The vast majority of wounds in children heal quickly with few or no problems. However, for those with a chronic illness, such as Crohn's disease, renal failure or neurological conditions, wound healing may be problematic because of the illness. Healing is often delayed by a poor nutritiona state, complications of surgery, infection or chemotherapy.
