NECROTIC, NECROSIS
Our results showed that patients with grade-III burns who received larval therapy had remarkably improved granulation and decreased necrosis within 6 days of intervention compared to baseline and conventional regimen group. Moreover, treatment with Larvae had a significant superiority in high necrotic (> 50%) burns over conventional treatment. Additionally, maggot therapy was able to remove microbial contamination from burn comparable to that seen in the conventional group who have been given antibacterial agents. In summary, the findings of this study provide the basis for the application of larvae in treating grade-III burn wounds. However, further randomized clinical trials with larger sample size should be done to shed light on the different aspects of the MDT in treating grade-III burn wounds, as well as grades I and  II.
