The burn wound exudate-an under-utilized resource

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24986597/#fft February 2015

The burn wound exudate represents the burn tissue microenvironment. Extracting information from the exudate relating to cellular components, signaling mediators and protein content can provide much needed data relating to the local tissue damage, depth of the wound and probable systemic complications. This review examines the scientific data extracted from burn wound exudates over the years and proposes new investigations that will provide useful information from this underutilized resource.
