Abstract: | Infectious complications after combustion represent the leading cause of lethal outcomes and attract an increasing attention of specialized services (anesthesiologists-resuscitators, combustiologists, infectionists, immunologists, clinical pharmacologists etc.). The increased incidence of the pyo-septic pathology in the whole world resulted first of all in the growing number of complications of burn disease in children. At the same time there appeared new pathological states which are thought to be outside the frame of traditional notions (e.g. the development of toxic shock syndrome). Many causes depending on the functional peculiarities of the children organism are responsible for the specific course of burn disease in children, the process itself having a number of peculiar features. |
