Abstract

In contrast to adults the protein and energy loss leads to hypermetabolism in the burned child. This is because their glycogen and fat reserves are limited. The catabolism finds expression in the rapid loss of weight resulting from reduction of the structure proteins. Therapeutic consequences will be discussed in this paper. Furthermore cases will be demonstrated where extensive third degree burns were able to be treated by mixed allografts and autografts.
