== Clinical Summary ==
This 15-year-old black female sustained third degree burns involving approximately 85% of the body surface. On admission to the hospital, the patient was taken to the operating room where a tracheotomy was performed and her burned body surface was debrided. After a few days of hospitalization, the peripheral white blood count was 41,000 cells/mm³ with a shift to the left. In spite of intensive therapy, which included administration of fluids and antibiotics, the patient expired on the sixth hospital day.
