Diagnosing death from burn shock

: Morphological changes were studied in the organs of 28 victims dead from burn shock at the age of 20-65 years and in rabbits in which burn shock was induced. Histological sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Sudan III, by Regaud's method; brain sections were stained by Nissl's and Brachet's methods and examined by electron microscopy. Morphological criteria of burn shock were determined, underlying the specific features of thermal injury.
