-==Overview==
+==[[Chemical burn overview|Overview]]==
+==[[Chemical burn historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-A chemical [[burn (injury)|burn]] occurs when living tissue is exposed to a reactive chemical substance such as a strong [[acid]] or [[Base (chemistry)|base]]. Chemical burns follow standard burn classification and may cause extensive tissue damage. The main types of irritant and/or corrosive products: acids, bases, oxidizers, solvents, and reducing agents.

-==Pathophysiology==
+==[[Chemical burn pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-Chemical burns may:
+==[[Chemical burn causes|Causes]]==
-* Need no source of heat,
+==[[Chemical burn differential diagnosis|Differentiating Chemical burn from other Diseases]]==
-* Occur immediately on contact,
+==[[Chemical burn epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-* Be extremely painful, or
+==[[Chemical burn risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-* Not be immediately evident or noticeable.
+==[[Chemical burn natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
-==Causes==
-Sparklers and other fireworks that give off sparks or flames can give chemical burns as well as [[Burn (injury)|heat-induced burns]]. Other common sources of chemical burns include [[silver nitrate]] ([[Silver|Ag]][[Nitrate|NO<sub>3</sub>]]), [[hydrochloric acid]] ([[Hydrogen|H]][[Chloride|Cl]]), [[Sodium hydroxide|lye]] ([[Sodium|Na]][[hydroxide|OH]]), and [[Calcium oxide|lime]] ([[calcium|Ca]][[oxide|O]]). Chemical burns may occur through direct contact on body surfaces including skin and eyes, inhalation, and ingestion.
-==Risk Factors==
-[[Chemical]] fabrication, [[mining]], [[medicine]], and related professional fields are examples of occupations where chemical burns may occur.
 ==Diagnosis==
-===History and Symptoms===
-The exact symptoms of a chemical burn depend on the chemical involved.  Symptoms include itching, bleaching or darkening of skin, burning sensations, trouble breathing, coughing blood, tissue necrosis, and death.
