title: [The risk of iatrogenic burn must not be forgotten while struggling against nosocomial infection: rules and precautions in operating rooms].
abstract: Accidental burns in the operating room are hopefully rare events, but it could happen during any surgical procedure. To reduce the nosocomial infection, the use of alcohol-base products is recommended by all the recent guidelines. Yet these inflammables products represent a potential danger if they are not carefully employed, and the surgeon's responsibility can be involved. We therefore thought it would be interesting to show the benefit provided by such products in terms of wound infection and skin preparation. However, two recent cases of severe accidental burn illustrate the importance of precautions when using such products.
