“…And highest rate of wound infection was among the children below 1 year of age. Our finding was in accordance with the findings by Kai-Yang et al [16] and Önen et al [17]. Due to the weak immune system of the younger children, they are more susceptible to infections.…”

In Nepal, little is known about the microbiological profile of wound infections in children and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Total of 450 pus/wound swab samples collected were cultured using standard microbiological techniques and the colonies grown were identified with the help of biochemical tests. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates were detected by using cefoxitin disc and confirmed by determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of oxacillin. 264 (59%) samples were culture positive. The highest incidence of bacterial infections was noted in the age group of less than 1 year (76%). Out of 264 growth positive samples, Gram-positive bacteria were isolated from 162 (61%) samples and Gram-negative bacteria were found in 102 (39%) samples. Staphylococcus aureus (99%) was the predominant Gram-positive bacteria isolated and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (44%) was predominant Gram-negative bacteria. About 19% of S. aureus isolates were found to be methicillin-resistant MIC of oxacillin ranging from 4 μg/mL to 128 μg/mL. Among the children of Nepal, those of age less than 1 year were at higher risk of wound infections by bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most common bacteria causing wound infections in children.

“…There are significant differences in the gender distribution of burns between countries and age groups (Brusselaers, Juhász, Erdei, Monstrey, Garcia-Moreno, 2009;Haik et al, 2007;Kai-Yang et al, 2008). The majority of studies in children report a higher incidence among males, both in developed and developing countries (Haik et al, 2007;Kai-Yang et al, 2008;Morrongiello, Ondejko, & Littlejohn, 2004;Wasiak et al, 2009).…”

“…Pediatric burns primarily occur in children below the age of five years (Drago, 2005;Jamnadas-Khoda, See, Cubison & Dheansa, 2009;Kai-Yang et al, 2008;Light et al, 2009;Peck et al, 2008). The impulsivity, high activity, and natural curiosity of this age group contribute to the increased incidence of burns (Dissanaike et al, 2009;Drago, 2005;Peck & Priolo-Kapel, 2002).…”

“…The impulsivity, high activity, and natural curiosity of this age group contribute to the increased incidence of burns (Dissanaike et al, 2009;Drago, 2005;Peck & Priolo-Kapel, 2002). Boys have a higher incidence of burns, accounting for 60-70% in most reports (Drago, 2005;Kai-Yang et al, 2008). This may be attributable to gender differences in exploratory behaviour (Banco, 1994;Drago, 2005) and a higher incidence of misbehaviour-related injuries in boys (Morrongiello et al, 2004).…”

Burns are devastating injuries that disproportionately affect people in developing countries, including children. In addition to a high mortality rate, survivors are burdened with life-long physical and emotional scars. The etiology and nature of burn injuries varies significantly by country, and this chapter explores the predominant causes and patterns of burn injury in both the developing and industrialized worlds. Gender differences play a significant role in the risk of burn injuries, across a spectrum with a predominance of women injured in fires from cooking and heating fuels in the developing world and industrial accidents primarily affecting men in developed nations. Children are particularly vulnerable to burn injuries, accounting for almost 50% of all burn patients in some studies. A majority of pediatric burns are scald injuries usually affecting very young children below the age of 5 years, and we discuss the behavioral patterns underlying this finding. Finally, the elderly form a rapidly increasing proportion of the population in many countries, and are often burdened with comorbidities that are likely to pose significant challenges in burn care.
