Abstract:
The aim of this study was to assess the patients admitted to Prince of Wales Hospital Burns Unit, Hong Kong between September 1991 and August 2001 following chemical assault. A total of 2319 burns were admitted during the study period of which 19 had been subjected to chemical assault. All victims sustained a burn injury to the head and neck area and 47% of victims' eyes were burnt. A total of 84% required surgical intervention. Where a reason for the attack was admitted most were due to relationship difficulties. This study has defined the victims of chemical assault in Hong Kong. At a time when the overall number of assaults in Hong Kong is at its lowest level for 5 years it is of concern that there appears to have been a recent increase in the number of chemical assaults in Hong Kong.
