[Malignant syndrome in burned children. Nosologic and therapeutic approach].
A malignant syndrome was observed in 7 children less than 3 years old; the extent of burn was between 5 and 25 p. cent. This syndrome appeared between the second and the fifth days. It was characterized by fever, autonomic disorders and finally coma. The clinical, biological and anatomical features look like the syndrome of Reye. The use of dopamine before coma allowed healing.
