Immunomodulation following burn injury

J F Hansbrough et al. Surg Clin North Am. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

Severe burn injury is accompanied by suppression of almost all the components of immunity; such suppression undoubedly contributes to infectious complications in the burned patient. There has now been substantial experimental progress made in devising approaches to prevent or minimize these immune defects; however, clinical application is still limited.
