LETHAL BURN TRAUMA IN CHILDREN Chadová L., Bouška I., Toupalík P. Institute of Forensic Medicine, The 2 nd Medical School, |

Summary: The aims of this retrospective study covering the years 1984–1998 were: 1. to survey burn injuries in children at
the present time and 2. to compare the current results with the conclusions of an analogous study performed in
the years 1964–1983. A decline in the occurrence of lethal burn wounds was found, as well as in burn shock as
a direct cause of death. Children 1–4 years old continue to be the most frequent victims of fatal accidents. The
most common cause of burn injury in this group remains scalding in the household.
