Hypertension has been observed to occur frequently in children with burns. In a series of children admitted to the St. Agnes Burn Treatment Center, sustained systolic and diastolic hypertension occurred in 31.5%, and 57.4% of the children demonstrated episodic periods of hypertension which were unsustained. The only clinical finding which significantly correlated with the hypertension was the presence of tachycardia, which persisted into the late healing phase of the thermal injury. Hypertension was more prevalent at younger ages. However, there was no other correlation of the development of hypertension with sex, race, or extent of thermal injury. The development of hypertension in itself did not worsen the prognosis for survival in the cases presented in this series. Possible pathogenic mechanisms which result in hypertension (elevated catecholamines, norepinephrine, renin secretion) are discussed.
人们观察到烧伤儿童中高血压频繁发生。在一系列入住圣艾格尼丝烧伤治疗中心的儿童中，31.5%的儿童出现持续性收缩压和舒张压升高，57.4%的儿童出现间歇性高血压，这种高血压并非持续性的。与高血压显著相关的唯一临床发现是心动过速，这种情况一直持续到热损伤的愈合后期。高血压在较年轻年龄段更为普遍。然而，高血压的发生与性别、种族或热损伤程度没有其他关联。在本系列病例中，高血压本身的发生并没有使生存预后恶化。文中讨论了导致高血压（儿茶酚胺、去甲肾上腺素、肾素分泌升高）的可能致病机制。
