Fifty five percent were urban people and the most common cause of BURN was boiling water (66%). The most frequent areas of barns were the head and the neck, the upper limb and the upper trunk (25%). The total body BURN surface area (TBSA) was less than 21% and 44-65% in 58% and 10% of the cases respectively.Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it seems that education of parents and children are essential to prevent BURN accidents and there fore to decrease BURN injuries and physical, social and economical BURN complications.
