ABSTRACT
So far there is no clear and accurate definition for burns due to specific causes, though they are encountered sometimes. Burns due to specific causes sometimes are neglected because of their low incidence, and many surgeons, even burn specialists are not familiar with them because of low incidence, thus leading to poor results in the treatment. Burns due to specific causes are often involved in complicated and compound injuries. The treatment is often difficult, leading to delayed wound healing. In this paper, the definition, classification, and clinical characteristics of burns due to specific causes are described. Problems involved in diagnosis and treatment of common ones such as electrical, chemical, and compound burns are discussed. Facing an increase of those burns with specific causes, the author suggests that the research into the prevention and treatment should be highly strengthened.
