Explanation

A. Allergic reaction in patients with sulfa allergies:
Silver sulfadiazine contains a sulfa compound and is contraindicated in patients with sulfonamide allergies.

B. Increased risk of infection:
Silver sulfadiazine is antimicrobial, and reduces infection risk, not increases it.

C. Delayed wound healing:
Some studies suggest it may delay epithelialization, but this is not the most common or concerning reaction.

D. Improved wound healing:
It helps prevent infection, but does not significantly accelerate healing. The focus is on infection control, not wound closure.
