Ten children aged seven months to eleven years with superficial burns involving (mean) 24% of total body surface were treated with amniotic membrane dressing in a general ward. The result of treatment was compared with that obtained during an earlier (12 months) period using non biological antimicrobial dressing on the same ward. One patient treated with amnion developed pseudomonas wound infection and another required skin grafting. These children spent an average of 31 days in hospital, as compared with 56 days for the control group. It is concluded that amniotic membrane dressing is to be preferred in the treatment of burns in hospitals in poorer countries, because of it's ready availability, ease of preparation and cheapness of storage.
10名年龄在7个月至11岁之间、体表浅度烧伤面积平均占全身表面积24%的儿童，在普通病房接受了羊膜敷料治疗。将治疗结果与同一病房在更早（12个月前）时期使用非生物抗菌敷料的治疗结果进行了比较。一名接受羊膜治疗的患者发生了假单胞菌伤口感染，另一名患者需要进行皮肤移植。这些儿童平均住院31天，而对照组为56天。得出的结论是，在较贫穷国家的医院中，羊膜敷料因其易于获取、制备简便且储存成本低，在烧伤治疗中更值得选用。
