A 9 year old girl presented to us with complaints of fever and pain in burn wounds with deteriorating health for one month. According to Lund and Broder’s chart, burns spanned the posterior trunk (13%), right arm (1.5%), left arm (1.5%), and buttocks (2.5%). The wounds showed improper healing. She had previously undergone split-thickness skin grafting, using skin harvests from thighs and antimicrobial therapy with vancomycin, flucanozole and colomycin with limited clinical improvement.
