“…We are not aware of previous descriptions of such a severe chemical burn by acetic acid, requiring skin grafting, as in this case. A previous description of a superficial chemical burn on the face from the use of vinegar was found in a case of pediculosis capitis (2).…”

“…Fepradinol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) marketed in Spain since 1989 as Dalgen® and FlexidoJ® ( 6 mg of fepradinol per 100 ml) sprays. 2 cases of allergic contact dermatitis from fepradinol were reported in 1992 (I), and several since then (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). In another case, allergy was caused by one of the excipients of the spray (7).…”

“…There are two more vinegar burns of 4 to 5% concentration reported in the literature; one documented a full-thickness burn on the dorsum of the foot of a woman that required skin grafting and the other described a superficial burn of the face. 12,13 And that is to say; weak acids even in low concentrations including lactic acid may injure the intact skin by the influence of predisposing factors. In çökelek burns, the integrity and the constitution of the intact skin was broken by thermal injury, which was the predisposing factor that makes it vulnerable to weak lactic acid in low concentrations.…”

This retrospective review was aimed to evaluate for the first time the risk factors in addition to the demographic and epidemiological features of immersion scalds by hot çökelek in 23 preschool-aged Turkish children younger than 7 years of age, who were admitted to the burn unit of Erciyes University Medical Faculty between January 1996 and August 2006. This retrospective study consisted of 23 hospitalized scalded children by hot çökelek. Hot çökelek burns were studied in terms of age, sex, length of hospital stay, seasonal variation, regions of involvement, the time between burn and admission to our burn unit, extent of burn injury, mortality, morbidity, and treatment modalities. The study consisted of 17 male (74%) and 6 female (26%) pediatric burns with a male-to-female ratio of 2.83:1, which was more frequent in boys. The mean age distribution, extent of burn injury, length of hospital stay, and mean transport time were 3.47 +/- 1.41 (range, 2-6 years), 36.60 +/- 16.60% (range, 12-79%), 26.00 +/- 10.88 (range, 13-38 days), and 8.69 +/- 3.73 (range, 2-15 hours), respectively. The overall mortality rate of the study population was 47.8% (11 of 23 children died). All patients suffered deep partial and full thickness burn injuries and received surgical treatment. Hot çökelek burns with acidic component should be considered important because of its high morbidity and mortality. We emphasize the admittance criteria of patients into burn units need to be reviewed in countries where çökelek is being widely consumed.
