UNLABELLED: Problems in the judgement of child abuse due to thermal violence are discussed by means of two examined cases. In a baby dermal lesions in the course of a bacterial infectious disease (bullous impetigo) were first misinterpreted as heat effects (cigarette, hot instrument). In the case of an infant presenting with marked imprints of a hot iron abuse was to be differentiated versus an accidental causation. CONCLUSIONS: In the interpretation of possible thermal injuries in children natural preexisting disorders of the skin should be taken into consideration. In cases of doubt an appropriate clinical diagnosis or a subsequent follow-up examination, respectively, is recommended. Thus, the course of events can be observed and an unjustified incrimination of persons having custody is avoided.
