Local Signs Focal areas of dark brown or black discoloration. Conversion of partial thickness injury to full thickness Hemorrhagic discoloration of subcutaneous tissue. Accelerated sloughing of burned tissue. Edema & discoloration of skin at wound margins. Appearance of ecthyma gangrenosa. Presence of pyocyaninin subeschar tissue. Focal subeschar fluctuance and variable size abscess formation. Appearance of vascular lesions in healing or recently healed partial thickness burn .
:ABNORMAL TEMPERATURE Large burns notoriously show large temperature variations for no apparent reason. Hyperthermia of 40 C or more, tachycardia and hyperventilation are indicative of systemic sepsis but these are also characteristic of the hypermetabolicresponse to severe burn injury. Hypothermia or sudden reversion to normothermia in a previously hyperthermic patient is often observed in life threatening gramnegative sepsis. Never equate abnormal temperature with infection.
