Abstract

The clinical assessment of burn depth can be particularly difficult in children. A new technique is described for applying the pin-prick test in children. It is simple to perform, causes no distress, and has consistently given reliable results. A personal series of 196 cases is presented, with a 95 per cent diagnostic accuracy.
