Abstract
Man is the superior most creature of God, having a sufficient intellectual mind to discover new things and concurrently overcome the existing problems. So from very ancient time different methods of wound care have been described. Wound is a separation or break in continuity of skin, mucous membrane or tissue caused by physical, chemical or biological insult. Wound infections continue to represent a major medical problem, both in terms of how they affect the outcome of surgical procedures and for their impact on the length of hospital stay and medical costs. In Ayurveda, an infected wound may be co-related with dushta vrana. Sushruta has explained that “vrana” (wound) is so called as it covers the site and the scar and even after healing, does not disappear till the person lives. Proper wound care is necessary to prevent infection and to promote healing of the wound. In this paper, emphasis has been given to dushta vrana and its management description according to Samhita and an attempt has been made to explain the infected wound according to modern concept.
