Management of Severe Burn Wounds Colonized With Multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Fusarium Using Marine Omega3 Wound Matrix in a Female Victim of War

Abstract

ABSTRACT War-related burns are common injuries, also among the civilian population. Additional trauma such as fractures or shrapnel wounds may add significant morbidity. Burn injuries in war zones are furthermore frequently undertreated and hence prone to complications. We report a case of a young female victim of war, whose severely infected burn wounds could be successfully healed using a combination of targeted antimicrobial therapy, wound conditioning using decellularized fish skin, and subsequent skin grafting.
