A prospective analysis of silver sulfadiazine with and without cerium nitrate as a topical agent in the treatment of severely burned children

Abstract

Previous studies have indicated that combining cerium nitrate with silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene, Marion Labs) yields a superior topical agent for the treatment of burns. Cerium nitrate in silver sulfadiazine was tested in a controlled study with silver sulfadiazine alone. The study population consisted of two groups of children suffering burns greater than 30% of the body surface. The patients ranged in size from 1 to 21 years. The study period was for the first 10 weeks of hospitalization. Quantitative surface cultures were used to monitor burn wound flora. No superiority for the silver sulfadiazine-cerium nitrate combination was demonstrated. In fact, cultures indicate a significantly greater percentage of Gram-negative pathogens in patients treated with the cerium mixture. Cerium nitrate could possibly prove of greatest benefit if used as a reserve therapy for colonizing organisms which do not routinely respond to silver sulfadiazine.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
