The Center for health Protection (CHP) of the Department of health of Hong Kong is investigating a case of renal stone suspected of being related to the consumption of melamine tainted milk products, the CHP said Friday.
The case was reported by the Hospital Authority of Hong Kong. It is the 15th case of its kind reported to the CHP.
A CHP spokesman said that the case involved a six-year-old girl living in Kwun Tong.
It was reported that the girl had a history of consuming milk adulterated with melamine. She was said to have on and off difficulty and pain on urination.
Her parents took her to United Christian Hospital for assessment on Feb. 9. She was admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital on Feb. 23 and was discharged on March 3 in stable condition. A renal stone was found in her left kidney.
