ABSTRACT
A small but significant number of adults admitted to our burn center were assaulted by burning. Eighty-five such cases were identified at our burn center. Fifteen deaths were caused by these assaults. These cases are in one sense unique in that in addition to the burn victim, society is also obliged to expend resources dealing with the assailant.
