Unhealed wounds, hypoalbuminaemia and cachexia in a burned child - where is the limit ?

In our case report we attempt to reconstruct the case of a 10-yr-old boy in Iraq with severe burns who survived almost six months without any adequate treatment, i.e. adequate treatment according to our therapeutic standards. We also highlight the patient's predominant symptoms, such as open wounds, hypoalbuminaemia, and cachexia.
