ABSTRACT
A 17-year-old male with burns to 8% of his total body surface area was treated for 10 days with Acticoat(®), a nanocrystalline silver dressing. The burns, which were on his back and shoulder, healed without infection. However, a skin discoloration in the wound area and the adjacent uninjured skin appeared in the first days of treatment. The staining remained visible even after the treatment had ended and disappeared approximately three years later. Despite the outstanding antimicrobial properties, possible side effects of silver nanocrystalline dressings should be kept in mind.
Un garçon de 17 ans avec des brûlures sur 8% de la surface corporelle totale a été traité avec Acticoat®, un pansement d'argent nanocristallin, pendant 10 jours. Les brûlures, qui étaient sur son dos et une épaule, ont guéri sans infections. Cependant, une décoloration de la peau dans la zone de la plaie et la peau indemne adjacente est apparue dans les premiers jours de traitement. La coloration est restée visible même après le fin du traitement et elle a disparu environ trois ans plus tard. Malgré ses propriétés antimicrobiennes importantes, il faut considérer les effets secondaires possibles de pansements d'argent nanocristallins.
