[Diagnosis, classification and treatment of burns of the auricular conchae]

On the basis of observation of 239 sufferers with burns of the ear auricles and analysis of clinical data, the authors have suggested a classification of such lesions. Primary lesions are associated with a direct influence of the thermal factor on the ear auricle tissues, and the secondary ones--with addition of infection. In treatment of the sufferers with burns of the ear auricles one should aim at prevention of the deepening of the burns and suppuration of a burn wound.
