The influence of the non-specific desensitization on the formazan activity of granulocytes in children with an infectious form of the bronchial asthma.

The authors applied a bacterial vaccine subcutaneously and pernasally in 42 children with infectious allergic, bronchial asthma. After having applied the vaccine for 6 weeks there has been found a distinct improvement of all values of the N. B. T. reduction test, in particular after subcutaneous injections. The authors attribute these results to a recovery or to a decrease of the activity of inflammation foci.
