66 patients of varying degrees of burns were divided in 6 groups on % of total body surface burns. Serum electrophoresis studies on all, were carried out at definite Intervals. Total (i) Serum proteins, (ii) Albumin globulin ratio and (iii) Alfal, Alfa2, Beta and Gamma globulin levels were studied. Levels of Alfa2 globulins in group VI (60% of T.B.S. burns) were found significantly altered and proved to be of prognostic value.
