T26-T28: Burns and corrosions confined to eye and internal organs
T28: Burn and corrosion of other internal organs
Burns and corrosion of other internal organs refer to a group of conditions characterized by damage to the internal tissues or structures of the body due to exposure to extreme heat, caustic chemicals, or other corrosive substances. This can occur in a variety of ways including accidents such as fires or chemical leaks, as well as ingestion or inhalation of harmful substances. Symptoms may vary depending on the organ affected and the severity of the burn but often include severe pain, changes in body functions, and signs of shock such as rapid breathing and heart rate. Disease progression can rapidly lead to multiple organ failure and severe complications if left untreated. The organ systems most commonly affected include the respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. In some cases, burns and corrosion of internal organs can also result from medical procedures or therapies.
