Primus stoves account for a large proportion of burn injuries in the developing world. The mechanism of these injuries is closely linked with factors relating to stove design, fuel characteristics and the socioeconomic profile of victims. We review the current literature on these injuries with particular attention to the injury mechanisms and epidemiological data available. We additionally summarize the initiatives so far developed worldwide for their prevention and define directions for further research into reducing the burden associated with Primus stove burn injuries.
普里默斯炉导致的烧伤在发展中国家的烧伤病例中占很大比例。这些损伤的机制与炉灶设计、燃料特性以及受害者的社会经济状况等因素密切相关。我们回顾了关于这些损伤的现有文献,特别关注损伤机制和可用的流行病学数据。此外,我们总结了迄今为止全球范围内为预防此类损伤而开展的举措,并确定了进一步研究的方向,以减轻与普里默斯炉烧伤相关的负担。
