The distribution is documented of burn injuries treated during the period December 1996/July 2000 in the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and City Hospital (Bangladesh). Acid burns constituted 8.76% of all the burn cases treated. In Bangladesh most such cases were of intentional origin (attempts to disfigure the face, eyes, nose, genital organ). Young girls were common victims. The incidence was greater in rural than in urban areas.
