This epidemiological study deals with 60 patients with friction burns between January 2004 and January 2006. The age group most affected was that between 21 and 30 years, with male predominance. Road traffic accidents were the commonest cause of friction burns (56 patients), and the lower limb was the most frequently affected part of the body. Patient management was performed according to the degree of the burn injury. It is suggested that most friction burn injuries are neglected on admission. They require proper care and can be prevented by the wearing of protective clothing, a helmet, and shoes while riding a motorcycle.
这项流行病学研究涉及2004年1月至2006年1月期间的60例摩擦烧伤患者。受影响最严重的年龄组为21至30岁，男性居多。道路交通事故是摩擦烧伤最常见的原因（56例患者），下肢是身体最常受影响的部位。根据烧伤程度进行患者管理。研究表明，大多数摩擦烧伤患者在入院时被忽视。它们需要适当的护理，骑摩托车时穿着防护服、头盔和鞋子可以预防此类烧伤。
