Popis:	An interesting and unusual case of an 11-year-old white male with chronically infected burns of his lower extremities who developed amyloidosis and the nephrotic syndrome is reported. The case is considered from the following aspects: (1) the rarity of amyloidosis in burns, (2) the short duration between the onset of the primary disease and the amyloidosis, (3) the age of the patient, and (4) the striking clinical improvement of the renal manifestations after the treatment of the burn. The treatment of the burns, using homografts, and the importance of renal biopsy in the diagnosis and follow-up are also discussed. Addendum: A third renal biopsy was performed in August, 1963, about one year following the second one. The amount of amyloid seen in the glomeruli did not seem to have diminished.
