Cover Story: Diagnosing infection and sepsis in cases of severe burns continues to be a challenge. Burn injuries are inherently linked to states of inflammation, which play a dual role in the recovery process .Differentiating between inflammation caused by burns and that resulting from infections remains a common clinical dilemma. Beyond biomarkers, this review will examine other diagnostic tools, including advances in PCR and gene expression  profiling, which offer superior diagnostic capabilities. This review will also discuss infection prevention measures that are specific to burns, as well as strategies for early infection treatment. Despite recent advances, significant progress remains to be made in improving the early detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infections to prevent sepsis and septic shock in patients with severe burns.
