Abstract
There 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.
