TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Hydrofluoric acid burns JO - Cutis A1 - Asvesti, C. A1 - Guadagni, F. A1 - Anastasiadis, G. A1 - Zakopoulou, N. A1 - Danopoulou, I. A1 - Zographakis, L. SP - 306 EP - 308 VL - 59 IS - 6 N2 - We observed seven patients who presented consecutively with hydrofluoric acid hand burns. The clinical characteristics of these patients and the course of their disease and treatment are reviewed. Dermatologists should be aware that a hydrofluoric acid burn constitutes a dermatologic emergency. Specialized treatment is required to prevent topical, system, and even lethal toxic effects.
