The results of treatment of 41 severely burned patients with complication caused staphylococcic infection were presented. For complex treatment antistaphylococcic immunoglobulin elaborated at Kirov Scientific Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion was applied intravenously. High efficacy of immunoglobulin was found and it was determined that intravenous injection of antistaphylococcic immunoglobulin resulted not only immunoreplacement effect but in immunostimulation as well.
