TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Lightning medicine in South Africa JO - South African medical journal SAMJ A1 - Blumenthal, Ryan A1 - Trengrove, Estelle A1 - Jandrell, Ian R. A1 - Saayman, Gert SP - 625 EP - 626 VL - 102 IS - 7 N2 - South Africa has a rich history of lightning research; however, research on the clinical and pathological effects and features of lightning-related injury (keraunomedicine or lightning medicine) remains neglected locally. By providing an overview of keraunomedicine and focussing on South African perspectives, we hope to raise awareness and propose that a concerted and co-ordinated attempt be made to report and collate data regarding lightning strike victims in South Africa.
