HKSH Launches Research to Cure Peanut Allergy
- Press Release
- 22 Jan 2013
(22 January, 2013 – Hong Kong) Up to 2% of young children are affected by peanut allergy in the United Kingdom and the incidence is increasing world wide. In 2009 it was reported that 4 to 8% of children in Hong Kong had food allergies. The exact prevalence of peanut allergy in Hong Kong and China is unknown although it has been estimated that as high as 35% of Taiwanese children with atopic eczema had peanut allergy. In order to try and find a cure for peanut allergy, the Allergy Centre has launched a pioneering research programme to develop a new treatment plan that will target patients with peanut allergy.
