“…The formation of HO was associated with the activation of both T- and B-lymphocytes in an animal study 20. Osteomyelitis was reported in children with burn injury who were infected with fungi in their bone tissue 21. A key study that agreed with ours indicated that patients who survived severe burn injury found it difficult to regain healthy lung function 11.…”

BackgroundBurns are the main cause of accidental injury, and pneumonia is a common respiratory disease in humans.AimThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between burn injury and pneumonia.Patients and methodsA nationwide population-based cohort study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We identified and enrolled 2,893 subjects with burn injury, who were individually matched to 2,893 subjects in the comparison group by using the propensity score. Furthermore, we used a self-controlled case-series design to estimate the temporal association between burn injury and pneumonia.ResultsExposure to burn injury revealed a higher risk of pneumonia than that to non-burn injury within 1 year. The Cox proportional hazards model revealed that, compared with the non-burn injury, burn injury yielded a 2.39-fold (95% CI=1.44–3.96) increase in risk of pneumonia. The exposure period of burn injury within 30 days showed 2.76-fold increase in risk of pneumonia (95% CI=1.44–3.96) compared with that in the baseline period.ConclusionBurn injury was associated with a significant increased risk of pneumonia, especially occurring within 30 days.

“…Osteomyelitis that complicates electrical burn injuries is rare. The commonest sites of osteomyelitis following electrical injury are the upper limb and the cranial vault [ 5 ]. One case report described a 28-year-old male who sustained a 46,000-V cranial electric injury that resulted in devascularisation, necrosis, and secondary infection of the skull despite aggressive surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy [ 6 ].…”

“…The upper limb has been reported as the most common entry point for electrical injury [ [8] , [9] , [10] ]. However, the scalp has also been reported as a common entry point for electrical injury, though less frequently than the upper limb [ 5 , 11 ]. Our patient had an entry point on the right elbow and an exit point on the lateral aspect of the right thigh.…”
