Abstract

Plasma and serum fibronectin levels were determined in a serial study of 24 non-septic burned patients by means of the passive haemagglutination test and electroimmunoassay. The results showed a consistent pattern of observed changes: a decrease of circulating fibronectin in the initial (first 72 hours post-burn), and during post-operative period (usually by the end of the first week and during the second week post-injury). Fibronectin level decreases were more remarkable than total serum protein concentration changes following injury, as reflected by decrease of fibronectin/protein ratio.
