A reappraisal of the role of cerium in burn wound management.

Abstract
A rare earth element, cerium, was introduced as an antibacterial agent in 1976 but has rarely been used due to the emphasis on wound excision. Used in combination with silver sulphadiazine, it may improve patient survival when excision is not possible.
