Abstract

The most common and the most serious complication of the burn is infection, which is to a certain extent inevitable in the light of present knowledge and experience. From the burn wound as a rule there may be cultured at any given time the prevailing flora of the individual patient and of the hospital attendants and ward environ ment. Even without contamination from outside sources, organisms embedded in hair follicles and sweat glands survive the sterilizing effects of heat and serve as potential sources of localized and systemic infection. With necrotic tissue serving as nutrient material for pathogens there may occur, in succession, cellulitis, extending necrosis, lymphangitis and final septicemia. This is to report a case of osteomyelitis due to facial burn of 32 year old Korean male. The authors treated the patient by curettage and thin split thickness skin graft. The post operative course was uncomplicated and result was excellent.
