Abstract

Aim of the work: Burn treatment in children is associated with several difficulties. Scald injuries are very common and have significant clinical impact. However, the treatment regimen for superficial to deep partial thickness burns is not well defined. 
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cryopreserved human allograft in treatment of partial thickness burn in comparison to standard care. 
Material and Methods: The study was done on 20 cases with scald injury. Their average age was 2.43 years old, nine female and eleven male. The mean TBSA was 27.3%, while the average partial-thickness burn was 22.75% and the FTB averages 4.65%. These cases were randomized into two groups, one group receiving early superficial debridement followed by coverage with cryopreserved human allograft. The other group received open treatment with silver sulfadiazine. 
Results and Conclusion: The healing rate and the re-epithelialization day were highly improved with allograft coverage, 
with less infection rate, early ambulation, and less hospital stay. Pain tolerance in the allograft group was good with 
minimal analgesic requirements. 
Partial thickness burns in children can be effectively treated with cryopreserved human allograft with good results and 
improved outcome
