Burn injury is accompanied by complex pathophysiological alterations that exert deleterious effects on various organ systems (1). Inflammatory shock mediators that are implicated in the pathogenesis of burn shock include histamine, serotonin, kinins, oxygen free radicals (OFR), prostaglandins, thromboxane and interleukins (2).
