SOURCE OF BACTERIA IN BURN WOUND: This aspect is somewhat controversial. Previously it was thought all infections are exogenous i.e. nosocomialso the complete isolation of patient was done and bacterial controlled units were created. The rate of infection in patients in whom all sources of exogenous infection are eliminated is still high, indicating that the endogenous source is an important one.
