[Early necrectomy, homo- and autotransplantation of skin in a 19-month-old child with deep burns over 45% of the body].

The authors present a case of a 19 months old baby, twin, with deep burns (45% of the skin), caused by boiling beans. The child was transported to the hospital immediately after the injury. Following the successful anti-shock therapy (whose scheme has been given), the child was operated upon on the VI day: early necrectomy with homotransplantation of his father's skin. In the second stage an autotransplantation (Thiersch) has been performed. The transitory complications were a melaenå appearing on the VII day, and later a contracture of the elbow. Finally, the child left the hospital with no Keloid formations or functional deficit.
