A 22-year-old man with heavy, generalized exposure to a toluene-based paint developed extensive chemical burns on approximately 71% of his total body surface area followed by acute renal failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation that led to death. Although the skin damage initially appeared...
These types of burns are also known as caustic burns and produce a reaction within the body or on the skin. They can be very dangerous for workers, as they occur on contact, may not be evident right away, and often cause serious pain. The chemical which the tissue came into contact ...
