We report the case of a child who sustained partial thickness burns from a garlic-petroleum jelly plaster, which had been applied at the direction of a naturopathic physician. A review of the literature reveals that "garlic burns" have not previously been reported, although medicinal properties of garlic have been investigated by physicians and biochemists. The pediatrician caring for children in an area where naturopathic medicine is routinely practiced should be aware of the potential side effects of plasters, poultices, and other "natural" remedies in children.
我们报告了一名儿童的病例，该儿童因按照自然疗法医生的指示使用大蒜凡士林贴膏而遭受了浅度烧伤。文献回顾显示，此前尚未有“大蒜烧伤”的报道，尽管医生和生物化学家已对大蒜的药用特性进行了研究。在自然疗法常规施行地区照顾儿童的儿科医生应意识到贴膏、药膏及其他“天然”疗法对儿童可能产生的副作用。
