“…The skin should be left intact, wherever possible, until the erythema fades and oozing lessens. Koblenzer (1967) has recommended continuous moist compresses using 0.25 ‐ 0.5% silver nitrate solution with generous wrappings to prevent excessive cooling, followed by a neomycin sulphate spray. A careful check should be kept of fluid balance and electrolytes.…”

Koblenzer (1967) proposed that both conditions were identical and were a reaction to mu Iti-factorial aetiologies. Lyell (1967) carried out a review of TEN in Britain.…”
