Toxic shock syndrome in a scald burn victim.

A child with 12% total body surface area superficial and partial-thickness burns was admitted to the Oregon Burn Center. Within 48 hours of admission, signs and symptoms of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) were present including high spiking fevers, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension, conjunctival hyperemia, and a diffuse macular erythroderma. Cultures of skin pustules and burn wounds grew Staphylococcus aureus. This strain has been shown to produce staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). This case appears to be the first reported of toxic shock syndrome in a burn victim caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin B.

Combined smoke inhalation and scald burn in the rat.

The combination of burn injury with smoke inhalation from fires significantly increases mortality. The mechanism of increased mortality is poorly understood but has been associated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, including cardiac dysfunction. Impaired cardiac function correlates with decreased survival in burn patients. We investigated smoke inhalation from burning cotton combined with a 40% body surface area, third-degree burn during the first 4 hours after injury in rats. In the early phase after injury, burn caused a significant rise in lung neutrophil infiltration but no increase in lung water. Smoke led to a rise in lung water but only a mild increase in neutrophil infiltration. Combined smoke and burn did not increase neutrophil accumulation or lung water above that which occurred with either injury alone. Only in combined smoke and burn was there a drop in cardiac output and stroke volume with pulmonary edema and lung neutrophil influx.
