title: Selected anatomic burn pathology review for clinicians and pathologists.
abstract: Selected examples of burn pathology having special teaching value for burn care during the initial 72 h are briefly summarized with specific recommendations to aid initial management and to enhance, rather than hinder, subsequent care by a specialist in burn therapy. A new concept relating fibrin degradation products to the development of shock lung is presented.
