Preventing life-threatening illnesses through skin checks
Manage episode 444726749 series 5409
The rate of skin infections in Aboriginal children living in remote communities has halved over the course of a major five-year study.
Untreated skin infections can cause rheumatic heart disease, sepsis and kidney disease – all of which disproportionately affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
A trial has found regular skin check-ups were the key to driving down cases of painful skin sores and scabies.
Guests
- Professor Asha Bowen, Paediatric Infectious Disease Specialist at Perth Children's Hospital and The Kids Research Institute Australia
- Stephanie Enkel, Research Assistant at The Kids Research Institute Australia
