ICIS in Burn Patients Compared to Other Inflammatory Markers

The current markers of inflammation that govern antibiotic treatment have their significant limitations, especially in patients with burns. According to previously published data, the newly proposed marker of infectious inflammation, the Intensive Care Infection Score (ICIS), appears to be a suitable diagnostic tool in distinguishing between inflammation of infectious and non-infectious origin in these patients. The other advantage is its low price. This study aims to compare ICIS with other used indicators of inflammation in patients with burns both children and adults.
