TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Causes of burn injuries in children JO - South African medical journal SAMJ A1 - de Wet, B. A1 - Davies, M. R. A1 - Cywes, S. SP - 969 EP - 972 VL - 52 IS - 24 N2 - In this article the causes of burn injuries in a series of 236 children admitted to the burns unit of Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital are investigated. Special reference is made to housing conditions as a contributing factor. The findings suggest that overcrowding and inadequate bathing and cooking facilities are conditions permeating almost all other contributory factors. More pertinent preventative measures are recommended.
