N2  - Chemical burns continue to pose a variety of dilemmas to the clinician managing such cases. Assessment of burn depth is often difficult and the decision whether to excise the wound early is not always clear-cut.

The complications arising from exposure to these chemicals and the supportive measures needed during treatment are also described.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
