Abstract

An example is reported of a burn caused by cutaneous exposure to 3,5-dichloro 2,4,6-trifluoropyridine (DCTFP) involving 25 per cent of the body surface. A striking feature was the development of the appearance of the burn over the first 72h postinjury. Healing was nevertheless spontaneous. The management of the injury is discussed.
