Abstract

A prospective survey has been made of 81 patients with flame burns who were admitted to the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, in the years 1973 and 1974. Young males who got burnt in and around their homes were most frequently encountered. Indications of the importance of predisposing conditions, flammable liquids and apparel in the burn incidents are discussed together with the need for extension of the survey.
