RÉSUMÉ
La brûlure est un problème de santé publique important. La plupart des patients sont confrontés à des handicaps, des difformités, des complications somatiques et psychologiques, ainsi que des problèmes économiques. Le but de cette étude était de déterminer l'épidémiologie des brûlures en conteste Africain, la prise en charge des patients non admis dans une unité de réanimation. Nous avons colligé 177 cas, sur une période de 44 mois. La population d’étude était âgé de 03 mois à 85 ans, avec une moyenne de 21 ans .nous avons reçus 88H/89F. Nous avons 75% des patients sans revenus. Nous avons 78% de patient qui se sont présentés le jour de la brulure .les accidents domestiques représentait 90%, le type de brulure thermique était de 91% .la présentation globale des brulures était en timbre-poste soit 83%. Le second degré de profond était retrouvé dans 83% des cas. La surface corporelle retrouvée a été de (31-50)% soit 21% des cas. Nous avons reçu 80% dont la prise en charge s’est faite en ambulatoire. Le traitement chirurgical était de 12% des cas, pour le reste les pansements ont été suffisants, 91% des cas ont cicatrisé à moins d’un mois. Le chalenge de la prise en charge des patients moyennement ou légèrement mérite une attention à type de soins locaux et de chirurgie secondaire le cas échéant, afin de leur éviter des suites somatiques et psychologiques redoutables.

The purpose of this study was to determine the epidemiology of African burns in dispute, the management of patients not admitted to a resuscitation unit. We collected 177 cases over a 44-month period. The study population was aged 03 months to 85 years, with an average of 21 years. we received 88H/89F. We have 75% of patients without income. We have 78% of patients who presented on the day of the burn . Domestic accidents accounted for 90%, the type of heat burn was 91%. the overall presentation of the burns was in postage stamp or 83%. The second degree of depth was found in 83% of cases. The body surface area recovered was (31-50)% or 21% of cases. We received 80% whose management was done on an outpatient basis. Surgical treatment was 12% of cases, for the rest the dressings were sufficient, 91% of cases healed within a month. The heat of the management of patients moderately or slightly deserves attention to type of local care and secondary surgery if necessary, in order to avoid them dreadful somatic and psychological consequences.
