    Abstract

    Seven pregnant women aged 20 to 30 years were among the burn patients treated at Ahmadu Bello University Hospital in Zaria, Nigeria. Five suffered flame burns and two were scalded. The burned surface area ranged from 4% to 80%. One patient was in the first trimester, two in the second, and four in the third. Six (86%) of the mothers and five (71%) of the fetuses survived.
