    AbstractWe have treated 25 pregnant patients with burns over a period of 6 years (1986-91). During this period total admissions to the burn unit were 1260. There were 187 women of child-bearing age, with burns ranging between 15 and 100 per cent TBSA. We would like to emphasize that, with proper care, the prognosis of patients with burns who are pregnant is encouraging and is comparable to any other routine burn patient. Abortion was common in the first trimester of pregnancy. Septicaemia was the commonest cause of abortion. Fetal death is not always preceded by maternal death.
