Summary
There is currently no standard treatment to prevent burn depth conversion in
partial-thickness burns. Conversion into deeper wounds is associated with higher
complications and morbidity. The most common theory attributes this depth conversion to the
prolonged inflammatory response that occurs after burn injury. Therefore, the investigators
propose testing the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment (an immunosuppressive agent)
in patients with deep partial-thickness burns.
