摘要
A 6-year analysis of 2000 cases of burns was carried out. Half of the patients were from rural and the other half from urban locations. One hundred and sixty-two patients out of the 2000 suffered from ember burns. The number of rural patients affected was greater than urban patients (117 vs. 45). Ember burns are frequent in Andalusia and have severe aesthetic and functional sequelae. Burns of this type are more common in children than in adults, so they carry an added social and medical relevance.
