title: [Etiologic and evaluation study of the treatment of 554 burned children].
abstract: We report about 554 burned children and make a brief analysis of the causes pointing to a better prophylaxis. Other reports contained similar data. It is noticeable that 17.7% of children with charcoal brasier burns and that 39.5% of children whose parents have two or three children came from the lowest income levels in the area of influence of our Service. We comment on the morbidity of these injuries: 55.95% of hospitalized children for a total of 5,877 days, and an average of 10.6 cures per child. Finally, in children with organic sequelae after the first treatment (28%) we make a first appraisal of the results of maintained compressive-elastic treatment in 78% of children, 40 of them in a preventive basis and 81 as a treatment of established sequelae.
