“…Several authors have reported that honey enhances wound healing rate, compared to other conventional or topical applications in a variety of clinical conditions, namely, burns, chronic wounds, infected surgical wounds, and pressure ulcers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…A number of studies have reported that honey has antimicrobial therapeutic properties, especially in situations where the body's immune response is insufficient to clear infection [21][22][23] . However, we have earlier reported that the administration of honey at 3mg/kg body weight to infected rats was able to reduce the parasitaemia and extend the life span of rats when compared to infected noninfected rats 12 .…”

Honey has been reported to clear infection through a number of properties including boosting the immune system, its anti-inflammatory action, antioxidant activity and stimulation of cell growth. Anaemia and serum biochemical changes are common features of African trypanosomosis. We investigated whether honey has protective effect on some liver functions and blood parameters affected by trypanosome infection. The serum albumin concentration in infected untreated rats increased significantly (p<0.05) compared with control whereas treatment with honey returned this effect to normal values. Anaemia which became severe by day11 of post infection as measured by significant changes (p<0.05) in the haemoglobin, packed cell volume, red blood cell, white blood cell and platelets counts was ameliorated when compared with the control (p<0.05). There was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in liver gamma glutamyl transferase in infected untreated, prophylactic and late stage treated group compared with the control groups. We suggest that honey has ameliorative effects on symptoms and some biochemical effects of T. brucei infections in rats.

Alkaline phosphatase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase activities were assessed in rats highly infected with federe strain of Trypanosoma brucei and treated with honey. Therapeutic effect of honey on parasitaemia was also assessed. Results show an extension in the life span of infected but treated rats from 12 days for control to 19 days for infected honey-treated rats. Parasitaemia was also effectively lowered. Alkaline phosphatase activity was increased in the serum but not significantly different in the liver. Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase were also increased in the serum but there is decrease in glutamate pyruvate transaminase activity in the liver. There were no significant differences in glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase activity in the liver. Results suggest that, honey could be a potential agent in the management of African trypanosomosis. However, it leads to decrease in glutamate pyruvate transaminase activity in the liver suggesting liver damage. Increase in glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase activities in the serum also suggest possible damage to other organs where these maybe abundant.

Comparison of Healing of Incised Abscess Wounds with Honey and EUSOL Dressing

Abstract: Honey is a superior wound dressing agent to EUSOL. Honey is recommended for the dressing of infected wounds, more so in tropical countries, where it is most readily available.
