    Abstract:
    The results of the burned wounds treatment with 1-2% solution of apple or beet pectins were analysed. The control results were examined at the same patients with symmetrical wounds treated by chlorhexidine, levomecol, furacillin liniment. Clinical evaluation demonstrated good tolerability of the treatment regime, absence of side effects and complications, inhibition of inflammation, acceleration of epithelisation of the burns II-IIIA class, allowed to diminish the preliminary period before autodermoplastic operation (burns of IIIB class), diminished microbial dissemination and dissemination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The best results were demonstrated when the pectins application was performed since the first day after the burned injury.
