description | Burn injury is a condition which catastrophic consequences can affect the sufferer<br />physically, socially, as well as financially. Medicolegal aspect of a burn requires<br />physicians to be able to examine burn injuries on both the living and the dead.<br />Burn injury is defined as tissue damage due to contact with dry heat (fire), humid<br />heat (vapor or hot liquid), chemicals (corrosive agents), electrical devices (lamp or<br />electrical current), friction, as well as electromagnetic energy. Burn can be<br />classified according to its breadth and degree. Death by burn injuries can be<br />classified into 2 categories which are slow death and the fast one. The difference<br />between antemortem and postmortem burn injury is that antemortem injury will<br />show several intravital signs in the bullae and vesicles while postmortem injury<br />will have none.Three main points exist in identifying antemortem and postmortem<br />burn injuries, namely redness lines, vesication, and reparative processes. |
