Abstract

This study concerns 850 cases of burns in children. It showed the predominance of burns in boys between the ages of one and 3 years. Most domestic accidents (96.5%) were due to boiling water (55.9%), the second cause was burns due to a flame (11.7%). Most accidents arrived at meal times. The area of burnt skin was as follows: in 222 cases, less than 5%; in 365 cases, between 5 and ten percent; in 152 cases, between 10 and 25%; and in 111 cases, more than 25%.
