Fungal infection of burn wounds in patients with open and occlusive treatment methods.

Fungal infection of burn wounds was investigated in a prospective study of 130 patients managed either with open or occlusive treatment methods. In all, 30 fungal isolates were recovered from 26 patients all of whom had bacterial infection also, except for one patient. The predominant fungi recovered were Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. Fungal infection was more common in patients treated with open dressing (25.5%) than occlusive dressing (16.0%). Fungal culture from tissue specimens gave a better isolation rate of fungi than from cotton swab specimens.

[Bovine pericardium - a new graft material for hernial repair (author's transl)].

We compared glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium with conventional Mersilene mesh with regard to suitability for repair of large incisional hernias in canine experiments. To test the materials the force needed to rupture them and the percentage of stretching to the breaking point were determined both in vitro and after implantation. The results showed that bovine pericardium is a suitable material for repair of large incisional hernias. Pericardium is superior to Mersilene mesh because of its minimal formation of adhesions with the underlaying bowel.
