“…Formation of lightning scars on tropical trees, however, is considered rare and therefore of little relevance in identifying trees struck by lightning. Here, we suggest, based on observations made in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda), that lightning scars can be frequent and may be a useful diagnostic feature to aid in identifying trees struck by lightning.…”

“…CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 10-year-old Ghanaian girl who got second-degree burns after being struck by lightning. She was put on an intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotic (ceftriaxone), Ringer’s lactate, and her burns were dressed with sterile gauze impregnated with Vaseline (petroleum jelly) and silver sulfadiazine ointment. …”

“…AUDIENCE: This scenario was developed to educate emergency medicine residents on the various presentations and management of a patient struck by lightning. INTRODUCTION: Annually, there are approximately 1.4 billon lightning strikes around the world; of these, an estimated 24,000 strikes cause significant injury or death.1 In the United States, there are approximately 400 lightning-related injuries every year resulting in 40 average annual deaths.1 Although only one in approximately 14,000 people will ever be struck by lightning, this still represents a significant injury mechanism for which emergency department providers must be prepared.2 Lightning is formed by static electricity built up due to ice crystals in clouds which creates a differential charge between the cloud and another object, such as the ground. …”
