ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to ascertain the magnitude, causes and frequency of fatal accidents in Spain in children aged O to 14 years. The information was provided by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística. The latest data published for the five years 1982 to 1986 inclusive are studied and the causes of death by accident evaluated.

We present the case of an 11-month-old baby with a burn that healed normally over a month, but subsequently developed successive crops of blisters over the scar. There were no changes in his general condition. Clinical, immunological, histological and ultrastructural studies provided a diagnosis of mechanical dermatitis produced by microtrauma. Electron microscopy studies revealed the sub-epidermal nature of the blisters and the presence of underlying fibrin deposits.

Scabies is a relatively common disease among Spanish children. The classic papulovesicular type is not usually a diagnostic problem. Therefore, the nodular type, much less frequent, is unknown for a lot of specialists (except dermatologist), and even it is mistaken for Histiocytosis or Lymphoma. Authors present a female infant, 6 months old, with nodular skin lesions whose first diagnosis was X-Histiocytosis. Regarding the big difference between the two processes (in respect of prognosis and treatment), this chance should be excluded, among others, when X-Histiocytosis is suspected in a child with sole skin affectation.
