| description | Honey as a dressing for burn wounds has been widely used. However the potential and the underlying mechanism of action of Tualang honey has not been studied. This project studied the microbiological activities and angiogenic properties of Tualang honey in the treatment of burn injuries. Twenty consented patients with partial thickness burn wound were included in this study. These patients were randomly treated either with hydrofiber®-Tualang honey dressing (n=10) or hydrofiber®-Ag (n=10) dressing. Nine different microorganisms were identified from the swab samples collected. Five were Gram positive namely, Staphylococci, coagulase negative staphylococci, |
