A retrospective analysis of burn accidents seen in Ethio-Swedish Children's Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia over 10 years from January 1978 to December 1987 is presented. A total of 347 cases were seen, accounting for 1.73% of all hospital admissions during the period studied. One hundred eighty-six (53.9%) were males. Scald was the commonest cause, 212 patients (61.1%). Second degree burns involving the extremities were the most frequent. Forty (11.5%) of the patients died. Increased mortality was seen in males with deep third degree burns, shock, a low total protein (less than 6 g%), extensive burns, and burns involving sites other than the extremities. Preventive measures such as educational programmes in schools and on the mass media, together with implementation of legislation to minimize the hazard, are recommended.
