Abstract
CLAIMS for the value of local dibrompropamidine in burns and wounds have been put forward by several writers (Kohn and Cross, 1948 ; Arden, 1949 and 1954; Champion and McDowall, 1949). Our experience with the compound (see Bull et al., 1948 ; Lowbury et al., 1952) and the report of its toxic action on leucocytes by Wien et al. (1948) led us to abandon its use in favour of other agents which were found to be safer and also more effective (Jackson et al., 1951 a, b). We report below four groups of observations in support of our opinion that dibrompropamidine is unsuitable as a routine application for burns.
