ABSTRACT

Rationale: Malnutrition, recognized as acute loss of body weight, frequently escorts the disease caused by burns, and might promote (and even perpetuate) local infection of burned area, thus hindering response to treatment. Objective: To establish the association between the occurrence of local infection of the burn and risk of malnutrition. Study design: Retrospective. Material and method: Microbiological cultures and clinical data were recovered from 31 burn patients assisted at the Burn Unit, “Hermanos Ameijeiras” Hospital, Havana City (Cuba) who developed local infection of the wound. Nutritional status was established from change in body weight during patient´s stay in the Service. Results: Seventyone percent of the patients suffered acute weight loss. Sixty-four point five percent of the patients showed positive cultures. Acinetobacter sp and Escherichia coli were the germs more frequently isolated. Acute weight loss was strongly associated with the presence of wound infection: Malnourished: 91.0% vs. Non-Malnourished: 0.0% (Δ= +91.0%; p ‹ 0.05). Conclusions: Frequency of local wound infection is elevated, and associated with acute weight loss.
