Reactions to administration of the common pathogenic respiratory 

 bacteria in the treatment of asthma of childhood become more 

 severe during extended treatment. These are considered to be 

 late reactions occurring, on the average, after two days. They 

 may continue from 6 hours to 6 days. Repeated overdosage may 

 induce prolonged temperature increases or status asthmaticus. 

 Best treatment is prophylactic application of a minute dose, 

 careful increases in dosage with attention to even slight 

 reactions, and frequent temperature recordings during the first 

 four days.

Probable bacterial-allergic asthma in children and its treatment 

 (English) 



Ugeskr. f. Laeger 193:387-392, 1950 



Children, one to four years of age, with asthma, but giving a 

 negative cutaneous reaction to usual allergens, may have a 

 bacterial allery as an aftermath of early infection in the upper 

 respiratory tract. Clinically, symptoms are identical with those 

 seen in patients who have positive cutaneous reactions. Eosino- 

 philia is noted in both groups. The authors have used a special 

 standard vaccine prepared by the State Serum Institute with better 

 results than are seen after specific desensitization in children 

 with positive cutaneous reactions. General reactions, however, 

 may be marked even with small doses of vaccine. Treatment should 

 be continued one year after disappearance of the clinical symptoms.
