%X Nonaccidental injury is always a concern when children present with unusual injuries. The case of a child who presented with a partial thickness burn secondary to prolonged contact with a liquid biological laundry detergent is described. Initially there was some doubt as to whether the agent in question could cause this injury but a small experiment on a volunteer confirmed it was possible.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
