Abstract
During a 21-month period 140 cases of child abuse were seen at the Alexandra Health Centre and University Clinic. The most common form of abuse was sexual abuse (81.5%), followed by physical abuse (9.3%) and neglect (7.1%). Combined abuse was seen in 2.1% of cases. Age, sex, presentation and perpetrator are discussed and a community programme recommended.Entities:
