AB  - More  than  25,000  products  can  produce  chemical  burns.  Most  exposures  occur  occupationally,  but  home  exposures  are  common  as  well.  As  few  as  10%  of  all  burn  center  admissions  are  the  result  of  chemical  burns;  however,  the  morbidity  and  mortality  are  high  and  may  account  for  as  many  as  30%  of  all  burn  deaths.1,2  Burn  injuries  from  corrosives,  mostly  to  the  face  and  neck,  are  unfortunately  a  common  and  growing  method  of  assault  in  low-  and  middle-income  countries.  Long-term  psychological  and  physical  effects  are  debilitating.3  Careful  individual  attention  is  required  for  chemical  burn  treatment  due  to  the  nature  of  concomitant  tissue  injury  as  well  as  chemical  exposure.
