- ItemOpen AccessThe Allergy Clinic: 50 years(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2006) Weinberg, E G; Potter, P C; Motala, CThere has been an allergy clinic at Red Cross Children’s Hospital from the day that the doors opened 50 years ago. This may not appear surprising given the prevalence of allergic conditions in children, but even today few major teaching hospitals in South Africa have paediatric allergy clinics – this despite the recent International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Children (ISAAC) which ranked South Africa twelfth in prevalence out of the 56 countries surveyed.
- ItemOpen AccessAn approach to hearing loss in children(2010) Copley, Graeme; Friderichs, N BHearing loss in children is common and can be difficult to identify, especially in young children. There are a variety of pathologies involved in these children, which make the problem challenging to diagnose and manage. This update describes how new technologies have evolved over the last 10 years to assist in the early detection of hearing loss even in very young children. The article aims to highlight the role and assist the general practitioner in managing these children, so that effective intervention and rehabilitation can occur and the long-term benefit, namely that the children become functioning members of the hearing world, is achieved. This article is not a comprehensive review on the subject, but aims to remind the reader of risk factors and gives guidelines for the clinical assessment of a child with hearing loss. In addition, middle ear disease is also widespread and impacts significantly on the quality of life in this age group, and therefore these problems are also discussed for the sake of completeness. The Ivan Tom’s infant hearing screening programme based in Cape Town is presented as a pilot project for future universal neonatal screening projects in South Africa.
