UNLABELLED  Occupational and chemical assault injuries were the two most common factors associated with chemical burns. These two types of injuries were identified and analyzed covering a 20-year period. METHODS Patients with second- to third-degree chemical burns admitted to the Linkou Burn Center, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from May 1986 to May 2005 were included in the analysis. I...

We present the case of a 40-year-old woman exposed for 4 h and 30 min to chlorine gas generated by mixing detergents containing hydrochloric acid hypochlorous commit suicide in bathroom. Acute respiratory failure, chemical burns all over face corneal erosion occurred. Despite skin have not been reported after exposure gas, this report suggests that may occur due prolonged even at relatively low...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To determine outcomes of transplants of cultivated autologous oral epithelial cells in patients with severe ocular surface disorders. METHODS The eyes (n = 6) of four patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (three eyes) or chemical burns (three eyes) were studied. Autologous oral epithelial cells, grown for 2-3 weeks on a denuded amniotic membrane carrier in the presence of 3T3...
