“…Tiruneh et al [100] conducted this institutional-based cross-sectional study on children admitted for burns to South Gondar zone hospitals from 2015 to 2019. They used for data collection a checklist including sociodemographic characteristics, as nutritional status, comorbidity, availability of health insurance, medical history such as the place of the accident, the mode of occurrence, the timing of hospitalization, the degree of burn, the duration of hospitalization and the therapeutic measures taken [101,102]. The mortality among burn victim children (8,5%) was higher than most of the studies conducted all over the world and similar to data from East Africa and Tanzania.…”

The last year saw intensive efforts to advance knowledge in pediatric medicine. This review highlights important publications that have been issued in the Italian Journal of Pediatrics in 2022. We have chosen papers in the fields of allergy, anesthesiology, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, genetics, global health, infectious diseases, metabolism, neonatology, neurology, oncology, pulmonology. Novel valuable developments in epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment that can rapidly change the approach to diseases in childhood have been included and discussed.

Accident or abuse? Differential diagnosis of contact burns from radiators/heaters in children

Contact burns in children are not uncommon and are often due to accidental contact. Medico-legal assessment is of paramount importance in these contexts to identify cases of abuse. In three cases of burns caused by contact with radiators or a portable heater -two accidental and one deliberate- thorough medico-legal assessment, combined with on-site event reconstruction, enabled accurate diagnoses. Accidental burns displayed a ‘pattern’ compatible with the incandescent instrument but were more irregular, with different depths and in different parts of the body. In contrast, intentional burns were uniform in depth, distribution and localisation, inconsistent with accidental events. In this context, the on-site inspection and direct evaluation of the objects involved were crucial in the medico-legal assessment. These are indispensable elements for a thorough analysis and abuse recognition.
