Abstract

Three infants treated for umbilical granuloma with silver nitrate suffered chemical burns to the periumbilical area which prompted visits to the emergency department. Treatment was conservative, and the outcome was good in all cases. We recommend caution when applying silver nitrate to the umbilicus, careful drying of the umbilical exudate to prevent spillage, and discussion with parents that burns may occur but apparently are not serious. The possibility of secondary infection is discussed.

摘要

三名使用硝酸银治疗脐肉芽肿的婴儿脐周区域遭受了化学灼伤，这促使他们前往急诊科就诊。治疗采取保守方式，所有病例的预后良好。我们建议在脐部应用硝酸银时要谨慎，仔细擦干脐部渗出物以防止外溅，并告知家长可能会发生灼伤，但显然并不严重。文中还讨论了继发感染的可能性。
