Backgrounds: Burn of children and adolescents is an accident due to careless protector in many case. All the pediatric burns are preventable. We investigated the characteristics of pediatric burns. Such data can propose proper health educational program designs to suit the community. Purpose: This study aims to analyse the characteristics of pediatric burn patients and to discusses a possible prevention program for this population. Methods: The subjects were 77 patients reviewed burn injury in pediatric under 15 years old. Data were burn center of the B General Hospital from January 1 to December 31 2009 and a retrospective epidemiological study was collecting medical records. Results: seventy-seven children and adolescents with burn were admission treated for Burns and they were 54.5% boys and 45.5% girls. An incidence of age group with pediatric burn was less than one year of age(46.8%), 2-3 year(27.3%), 4~7year(10.4%), over 8 years old(15.6). Length of stay hospitalization was 1~2 week(32.9%) highest percentage and second-degree deep burns were 41.6% the highest percentage. Divided by the age of about 3, length of stay, ICU status, time of injury onset, cause, indication, place of accident, treatment, degree, region of burns had a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Less than one year of age was the highest percentage. Divided by the age of about 3, Characteristics and factors affecting the range of burn were significant.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pediatric burn patients and to determine the targets for a pediatric burn prevention program. Methods: A retrospective review of all medical records of acute pediatric burn patients (age < 15 years old) admitted to our hospital between January 2005 and December 2009 was performed. Results: 1472 males and 1323 females were investigated, with a male to female ratio of 1.11 : 1. The greatest number of burn patients were those with an age of 1~2 years (1,463, 52.3%). Scalding burn was the most common cause of injury, which accounted for 2183 (78.1%) patients, followed by contact burns (10.5%), flame burn (4.9%), steam burn (3.6%). Especially steam burn was the second cause of injury in the age under 1 year, while flame burn was the second cause of injury in the age over 7 years. During recent 5 years, incidence of flame burn, steam burn, electrical burn gradually decreased. Variation of seasonal incidence is minimal and most of the patients (2,716 cases, 97.2%) had burns less than 20% TBSA (Total body surface area). The median hospital stay was 18.79 days, and the rate of operation was 28.6% with a high rate in electrical burn (76.2%), flame burn (50.0%), steam burn (46.1%). 6 patients died in this series, which yielded a mortality rate of 0.2%. Conclusion: Prevention efforts should reflect recent study results. Focused prevention program and campaign to make people aware of risk factors and their avoidance is required to reduce the number of burn accidents in children.

Purpose: Pediatric burn still generates social problem leading to physical and mental sequelae for ages. We studied to help make a program for the prevention of pediatric burn. Methods: We analyzed retrospectically 2759 acute burn patients under the age of 15 years in recent 5years (January 2000 - December 2004). Results: 1553 males and 1226 females were investigated, with a male to female ratio of 1.25 : 1. The greatest number of burn patients were those with an age of 1 - 2 years(1435, 52%). Scalding burn was the most common cause of injury, which accounted for 1980 (71.8%) patients, followed by contact burns(286, 10.4%), flame burn(229, 8.3%), steam burn(141, 5.1%). Especially steam burn was the second cause of injury in the age under 1 year, while flame burn was the same in the age over 3 years. During recent 5 years, incidence of contact burn increased over twofold despite the others did not changed substantially. Variation of seasonal incidence is minimal and most of the patients(2545 cases, 92.2%) had burns of ${\leq}20%$ TBSA. The median hospital stay was 18.3 days, and the rate of operation was 35.4% with an high rate in electrical burn(70.6%), steam burn(68.8%), contact burn(65%). 27 patients died in this series, which yielded a mortality rate of 1%. Conclusion: We expect that these data will be used as a basis for prevention of pediatric burn.

목 적 : 화상의 병태 생리에 대한 지식 증가와 효과적인 항균제의 이용 및 상처의 괴사조직을 조기에 제거하는 수술 방법의 도입으로 최근 사망률이 감소하고 있으나, 아직도 세균 감염으로 인한 패혈증과 폐렴 등의 합병증이 사망의 가장 큰 원인이 되고 있다. 최근 내성균주의 증가로 적절하고도 제한적인 항균제 선택의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 Acinetobacter의 multi-drug resistant 균주는 최근 들어 관심의 대상이다. 중환자실의 MRSA, VRE 등의 균주가 증가되고 있는 우리나라의 실정에서 소아 연령의 화상부위 세균 감염 양상을 파악하고 각 균주에 따른 항균제 내성의 추이를 파악하여 적절한 항균제 선택으로 소아 화상 부위의 치료에 도움이 되고자 한다. 방 법 : 1999년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 4년간 한림대학교 의료원 한강성심병원 화상 센터에 입원한 만 15세 이하 환아 중, 화상 부위 세균 배양 검사 양성으로 나타난 213명, 406검체를 대상으로, 의무기록의 후향적 고찰을 통하여 감염세균 및 항균제 감수성 양상을 조사, 분석하였다. 결 과 : 1) 총 213명의 환아 중 남아 127명(59.6%), 여아 86명(40.4%)이었다. 나이별로는 1~5세까지의 학령 전기에서 132명(62.0%)으로 가장 많았고, 1개월~1세의 영아기 45명(21.1%), 6~10세의 학령기 24명(11.3%) 순이었다. 2) 화상의 종류로는 열탕 화상이 167명(78.4%)으로 가장 많았고, 다음으로 화염 화상이 35명(16.4%), 접촉 열화상 6명(2.8%) 순이었다. 3) 총 213명 406검체 중 64검체(15.8%)에서 두 종류 이상의 균주가 분리되었다. P. aeruginosa가 236검체(58.1%)에서 분리되어 가장 흔한 원인균이었다. Enterococcus species가 73검체(18.0%), S. aureus가 51검체(12.6%), S. epidermidis가 48검체(11.8%)에서 분리되었다. 그 다음으로 Streptococcus species, Acinetobacter species, E. coli 순이었다. 4) P. aeruginosa의 경우 항균제에 대한 내성률은 trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 100%, cephalothin 98.1%, ampicillin-sulbactam 96.2%, ampicillin 95.3%, ceftriaxone 95.2%, tobramycin 93.7%, cefoperazone 68.9%, ceftazidime 67.7%이었다. 5) Enterococcus species는 tetracycline 63.9%, streptomycin 45.5%, gentamicin 36.1%, penicillin G 13.7%의 내성을 보였다. 6) S. aureus는 gentamicin 89.7%, tetracycline 86.2%, ciprofloxacin 86.2%, penicillin G 84.3%, oxacillin 78.4%, erythromycin 76.5%의 내성을 보였다. 7) S. epidermidis는 oxacillin 81.2%, erythromycin 79.2%, gentamicin 76.2%, penicillin G 70.8%, fusidic acid 70.3%, tetracycline 61.9%의 내성을 보였다. 8) Acinetobacter species는 ampicillin-sulbactam 100%, gentamicin 85.7%, ampicillin 83.3%, piperacillin 61.5%, aztreonam 53.3%의 내성을 보였다. 결 론 : P. aeruginosa의 선택적 항생제 중 cefoperazone 68.9%, ceftazidime 67.7% 등 높은 내성을 보였고, imipenem 역시 25.9%의 내성을 나타냈다. 현재 P. aeruginosa에 대한 백신이 개발 중이나 효과에 대해선 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것이다. S. aureus는 penicillin G 84.3%, oxacillin 78.4% 등의 높은 내성을 보였으나, vancomycin 0%, teicoplanin 2.2%로 아직 낮은 내성률을 보였다. Acinetobacter species는 최근 계속 증가하는 multi-resistant drug 양상을 보이고 있어 향후 항균제 선택에 있어 신중한 주의가 필요하다.

Purpose: Dalgona, a kind of candy made of caramelized sugar, is a popular snack for children. Given the popularity of preparing dalgona, increasingly many patients are treated for burns sustained while preparing dalgona. We report the clinical features and dangers of burns from dalgona. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 11 inpatients and outpatients who had been treated for burns they received while preparing dalgona from March 2020 to December 2020. The data reviewed were age, sex, the severity of the burn, the size and location of the burn, the type of treatment, and the place where the injury occurred. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 19 years, and the average age was 10.2 years (2 male, 9 female). Three patients had superficial second-degree burns, while eight had deep second-degree or third-degree burns. Most of the cases were treated with a local skin flap or skin graft. All the burned lesions were on the hands and feet. In all cases, the burns occurred at home due to accidental spillage. Conclusion: Most of the patients were children and teenagers, and they had serious burns. Therefore, we report these findings to emphasize the need for public awareness of the potential for burn injuries to occur during dalgona preparation.
