Abstract

Since the early 1960s, modern immunology has gradually been involved in every department of clinical medicine. There is no exception for burn medicine. Several burn units in Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing of China began to research the immunological consequences of burn clinically and experimentally in the late 1970s [1–4]; their studies have been continued over 30 years [5–8]. Relevant research in this field has been carried out by institutions in other regions in recent years. Overall, the study of burn immunology in China has its own characteristics and advantages with the unremitting efforts of many scholars in the last decades. Our studies in several aspects, including the initiating factors in the pathogenesis of immune dysfunction and molecular mechanism of the immune cell dysfunction after burns, have come up to the international advanced level. Therefore, the phenomena of immune function alterations, etiological analysis, pathogenesis, clinical consequences, and modulating measures of postburn immune dysfunction are summarized as follows, and the future directions in the study of burn immunology and related research are also analyzed.
