BURN, EPILEPSY AND COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is a major public health problem. It is not only a health crisis of planetary scope but also a socio-economic crisis with serious consequences. Among the dramatic repercussions in our country was the condemnation of several health structures, including ours. We report the case of a young epileptic woman who suffered a thermal burn by scalding, causing her to suffer from 3rd-degree lesions.Her treatment was delayed because of the sanitary conditions preventing an excision with a skin graft, which led us to follow this patient in directed healing. Therapeutic management in the context of an epilepsy-burn association must be multidisciplinary and adequate, hence the interest of prevention based on patient education, good compliance with treatment, and correct management of the environment.
