There were hospitalized 345 children (aged 3 months-15 years, 1%-88% TBSA, mixed superficial and deep burns). No child died from burn shock during the early postburn period. Five children who died suffered deep burns greater than 50% of TBSA and at necropsy there were identified signs of multiple organ system failure which was related to infection.
