Burn is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in

Bangladesh and in many parts of the world.

More than 233000 people are burned every year in

Bangladesh; among them 18000 need hospitalization and 3600

become permanently disabled.

Average out-of-pocket expenses for the care of a burn were

about $22 per family. For a severe burn, a family spent $462.

The magnitude and consequences of this problem make burn

injury an urgent public health problem.

The present study has been designed with the following aims

and objectives:

To study which organisms were prevalent along with the

evaluation of the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the

organisms to the commonly used antibiotics at Burn unit of

City Hospital (Pvt.) Limited ,Dhaka.

To check the changing pattern of the organisms and their

susceptibility pattern and assist the clinicians to formulate an

effective antibiotic policy based on this study.

This study should be done frequently to check the changing

pattern & based on this, the hospital should formulate an

effective antibiotic policy.

Prevention of further contamination of wounds by sterilized

dressings and strict environmental control and restriction of

movements of people within burn ward .

Proper selection and use of antibiotic for treatment of patients

is also necessary to reduce the incidence of multidrug

resistant strains.
