Abstract

Burn care is not reserved uniquely to burns. Several diseases have the symptomatology, clinical presentation, complications, treatment requirements, and outcome of burns. Such diseases are: 1. Stevens-Johnson disease; 2. Lyell's syndrome; 3. bacterial fasciitis; 4. skin necrosis combined with coagulation disturbances; 5. pemphigoid; and 6. subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

Keywords: burn; diseases; mimicking; treatment
