Abstract

A 73-year-old female patient suffered from 23% TBSA (21% full-thickness) due to flame burns. She underwent intensive treatment, including surgical debridement, autologous skin grafting, and antibiotic therapy adjusted according to clinical progression. Despite advanced age and complex wound infections (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida tropicalis detected in urine), the patient recovered after 64 days through multidisciplinary collaboration, rigorous infection control, and optimized nutrition. Key lessons emphasize the critical role of appropriate timing and methods for surgical intervention, judicious antibiotic use, and holistic care underpinned by effective teamwork.
