Abstract

The current study aimed to show some of the immunological variations associated with burn injuries in the body of the injured, which increases the rate of septicemia and death among these patients. During the period from February 2018 to August 2019, blood samples (64) were collected from burn patients in Al-Hussein-Teaching Hospital in Karbala Governorate and found acute phase protein(CRP) values increased directly with the intensity of the burn, reaching 64.1 mg/L in minor burns, while it reached (90.2 and 125) mg/L for both moderate and severe burns, respectively. While the significant increase was (p≤0.05) in cellular kinetic values. IL-6 to (118, 86 and 33) pg/ml in patients with mild, moderate and severe burns, respectively
