I wanted to share this with you. There is a recent paper out of BAMC (Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas) by Steven Wolf, their former burn director. The study looked at burn victims in OIF/OEF (military) compared to US civilain burns treated at BAMC and the organisms that could infect and kill these patients.
What they found in this large study was that Pseudomonas was one of the big bacterial killers of both types of patients (military versus civilain). It did not matter where you came from, but that if you got Pseudomonas or another one of these bad organisms with alarge burn, your mortality went up drastically.
So, South America, North America or anywhere in the world Pseudomonas is a killer . . .
