Philippine experience with Sulfamylon in thermal trauma

The results of a pilot study of the use of Sulfamylon on 55 burn patients accumulated during a six month period are presented. Bacteriologic data, from the burn wound and blood, shows a changing pattern from the previous year. Findings in this study are essentially similar to experience of others from abroad. The evidence gathered here seems to show that there is nothing to prevent Sulfamylon from being an effective and useful adjunct in the treatment of burns in the Philippines. (Summary)
