We studied 62 children who were hospitalised at “Centro Grandi Ustionati” from 1995 to 1998. Pre-schoolers usually burn during the daytime (100%), when at home (97%) and with boiling liquids (90%), mainly water. Schoolers usually burn with flames (76%), mainly alcohol, and often when not at home (28%). For schoolers the main etiologic factors are the children’s personal characteristics (liveliness to hyperactivity), whereas for pre-schoolers the main causes are family problems.

1,000 patients were invited for supposed allergic diseases and they were tested with a panel of 11 inhalant allergens and 12 food allergens. 502 patients turned out to be positive: at least one positive result was obtained for 60% of the asthmatic patients (and for 77% of the asthmatic patients with atopic dermatitis), but only for 45% of the children with nettle rush, for 37% of the children with isolated atopic dermatitis, and for 28% of the children with rhinitis. Amongst mono-sensitive children, the most common positive result related to dermatofagoid (75%). Sensitivity to animal tropho-allergens (eggs, milk, cod) disappeared after the first year of life, whereas there was an increase in sensitivity to pneumo-allergens (dermatofagoid, grasses, parietaria, olive tree) and vegetal tropho-allergens (maize, wheat, almond).
