N2  - Burn injury is rare during during pregnancy. However, severe burn injury during pregnancy is very dangerous for both mother and foetus. Maternal and foetal outcome depends on the mother's total body surface (TBSA) burned. In women with more that 50% TBSA burned, foetal and maternal complications are considerable. Our study on pregnant women over a period of 12 years in Kermanshah, Iran, found 59.5% maternal mortality in the age range of 21-40 yrs. This study shows a positive correlation between foetal and maternal mortality, morbidity, and TBSA burned. The highest rate was in women with more than 50% TBSA affected.
