BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the effects of two different burn dressings, hydrofiber with a silver (HFAg) and polylactic membrane (PLM), on altering the levels of important biomarkers Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Transforming growth factor-beta(3) (TGF-beta(3)) in blood and burnt tissue in children with second-degree burns.
