    Chemical Contact Burn With Ready-Mixed Concrete: A Case Report
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2021-06) Emin Turk; Erdal Karagulle; Halil İbrahim Taşcı; Mehmet Haberal
    Chemical burns, and particularly alkali burns, constitute a very small fraction of burn unit admissions. It is generally unknown that ready-mixed concrete can cause chemical burns. However, prolonged contact with ready-mixed concrete may cause serious burns. Raising awareness of the need for taking necessary measures against burns from ready-mixed concrete among workers would be effective for the prevention of this type of burn. Here, we report a case of a full-thickness burn that occurred in a worker who was working unprotected with ready-mixed concrete.
