Abstract
After thermal injury fluctuations in blood platelet levels have been reported. Eurenius et al. (1972) found that when 30% full-thickness burn wounds were induced in rats, a thrombocytopenia occurred within the first few hours of injury followed by a thrombocythaemia which reached a maximum between 3–5 days. Similar blood platelet level fluctuations have been observed in humans, albeit with a more prolonged time course (Baxter 1974).
