| Abstrakt: | Cold burns are still exceptional in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the promotion of a wider use of domestic gas (commercial butane) has led to the growth of petrochemical industries. As a consequence, there is an increased risk of the occurrence of such burns (referred to as frostbite). We report a case of a cold burn injury caused by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the workplace. The diagnosis of severity and management later complicated the local evolution. Compliance with safety measures in factories remains the main means of preventing this rarely seen type of burn. |
