Search for: [Abstract = "trated between the presence of the same species of microorganisms \(or groups of species with similar properties\) in the same sub\-period of burn disease in the burn wound and blood, burn wound and endotracheal tube and burn wound and urine. The bacterial and fungal species that had been cultured from burn wounds varied from these cultured at the same time from materials originating from other sites. A clear risk factor of bacteremia was the size of the burned body surface area \(p<0.001\)\; on the other hand, the depth of the burn was not an independent variable associated with bacteremia. The author demonstrated a correlation between sepsis and body surface area and depth involved by the burn \(p<0.001\). There was no significant correlation between empiric usage of antibiotics \(especially as prevention\) and survival rates, development of bacteremia or graft taking \(p>0.05\). A correlation was demonstrated between the frequency of isolating fungi from the wounds and endotracheal tubes and the amount of antibacterial agents administered during the entire treatment \(p<0.001\) – more antibacterial drugs led to a later occurrence of fungi, but in such situations, their appearance was more likely. No clinical efficacy of the Pseudovac vaccine was demonstrated in the study group, as vaccination did not affect the incidence of burn wound, blood, urine and endotracheal tube infections by Pseu"]
