The Bacteriological Profile Of Burn Wound Infections Post Traditional Therapy At A Tertiary Burns Center In Palestine

Abstract :

Background: In developing country, large number of patient go to traditional therapy to prevent scar . Patient's reports to tertiary center late after infection appear. A total of 50 burn cases were coming to burn unite in 2019 infected burn post traditional therapy the study period.Method: Retrospective study by review of file of patient admitted to burn unite 2019.Objective : The objective of study resumption to appear extent prevalence of infection burn post traditional therapy in Hebron government hospitals to provide guidance for burn prevention, and to reduce infection of burns in Hebron and West Bank.Finding: most of them and male 56%. female 44% Most of them are children, causes of burn 76% scald burn, 20 % of flam burn. With different depth to body surface area ( TBSA), 40% from patient TBSA less than 5%, and 40% from patient 5-10 %, and 24.7 TBSA from 16-25 %, and TBSA more than 14% from total population. According to coming to hospital 52% from patient coming with less than 7 days, 42% coming after 7 days. According to treatment 60% from Conservative treatment (dressing, antibiotics ). And 40% need operation as (debarment or skin graft). According to type of bacteria 57 % are gram negative, 43 % gram positive, and according pathogen name Acinetobactor, Enterobacter spp. With percent 10 %, and Klebsiella spp. 10% and MRSA 10%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 20%, Staphylococcus aure 12%us 8% and MRSE . Meropenem and Trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxpxazole showed the highest sensitivity to all the pathogens isolated, most of bacteria resistance Amoxicillin Conclusion: Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Staphylococcus aure, piperacillin+Tazobactum, Trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxpxazole and Gentamycin. showed the highest sensitivity, most of bacteria resistance Amoxicillin. early treatment of burn with medical team, prevent infection, and complication, need more awareness among people to avoid traditional treatment
