Abstract
Sepsis and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) continue to be major life-threatening complications in patients with extensive thermal injuries [1, 5]. Almost all of the immune responses that have been studied in burn patients show impairment, cell-mediated immunity being most consistently and profoundly suppressed [3, 4].
