ABSTRACT
A 60-year-old patient with 50 per cent body surface area (BSA) flame burns (of which 46 per cent were full skin thickness loss) was treated successfully with skin grafts taken from his identical twin brother to cover 20 per cent of the wounds. On theoretical grounds, it can be assumed that the period in hospital was reduced by 28 days. Blood for tissue and blood group typing should be taken at an early stage, before the patient is given a blood transfusion.
