“…The percentage of male patients was higher than that of female patients, in agreement with the results of previous studies, [4][5][6][7] although some studies have shown a higher percentage of female patients. [4,8,9] In our study, children constituted the group most affected by burn injury as 64.7% of our cases were aged <15 years, similar to that observed in other studies. [10,11] The highest numbers of patient hospitalizations to our burn center occurred in July, August, December, and January.…”

“…A study from several American states reports that 70% of childhood burn admissions were under five years of age [3]. Children aged 0-5 years comprise 26% of all burn admissions in South Korea [4], 40% in Nepal [5] and 25% in Iran [6]. According to latest WHO report on child injuries, 95,000 children die from burns each year the majority being below 5 years of age [1].…”

“…This also correlated with a study done by Shahzad et al of Pakistan. 10,11 In our study P. aerugenosa, E. coli, Klebsiella sp., Citrobacter sp., P. vulgaris are the most common gram negative bacteria whereas Staphylococcus aureus is the only gram positive bacteria isolated from burn wound. The same microorganisms were found in a study carried out by Patil et al, which revealed the Pseudomonas sp., Acinetobacter, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella sp., Citrobacter, E. coli.…”

Background: In developing world, there is a wide gap between the number of burn patients and resources of management. Patients reports to tertiary centre late. So in our study, we have assessed the late presenting cases of burns, their epidemiological data, bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity patterns of burn wounds.Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and associated hospital, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh from December 2015 to November 2017,where all the delayed presenting (>5 days) cases of burn involving 20% to 60% body surface area having no other comorbidity and age ranging from 5 years to 60 years were included and evaluated.Results: In our study, total 104 patients were included. Total 281 swabs were found to be culture positive, out of which 243 were monobacterial dominant. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in 29.22% cases, E.coli in 23% cases, Klebsiella pneumoniae in 20.16%, Citrobacter in 9.88% cases, MRSA in 04.53%, MSSA in 5.35% cases. P.aeruginosa was mainly sensitive to piperacillin + tazobactum in 74.64%. Escherichia colli was sensitive to piperacillin + tazobactum in 75% cases, to collistin in 73.21% cases.Conclusions: Burn injuries are very common specially in developing countries where dependence over the traditional way of cooking is more. Use of antibiotic as per bacterial culture and sensitivity report, early surgical intervention and proper burn wound care at tertiary care centre reduce the morbidity and mortality of burn patients.
