F Collier, and M H De Laet, and P G Deconinck

Analysis of 300 consecutive hospitalized children with burns. To prevent infection, patients are given a bath with chlorhexidine (0.03%) every day and their burns covered by silver sulfadiazine (1%) and occlusive dressings. In 5.3% of the children positive swabs were obtained during hospitalization and in only 2.3% on several occasions. No case of septicemia could be documented.
