    Abstract

    Sixteen patients at various stages of pregnancy suffered burns covering between 10 and 80 per cent of the body surface area. This review highlights the management problems of these patients during the first, second and third trimesters. Only two mothers (both with 80 per cent TBSA burns) died. There were five fetal deaths, three of them intrauterine.
