The clinical course of twenty-one patients who presented with life-threatening symptoms, appearing to be allergic in aetiology, is described. In ten of these patients clinical evaluation established a diagnosis, for example: drug allergy, food allergy, a curious form of hospital addiction syndrome, an underlying malignancy, systemic mast cell disease or a complement abnormality. In the remaining subjects, it was found that their condition could be stabilized with sympathomimetics, antihistamines and corticosteroids. In those in whom no aetiology could be found, there was usually a spontaneous subsidence of the frequency and severity of attacks or spontaneous remission. No fatalities occurred.
本文描述了21例出现危及生命症状、病因看似为过敏的患者的临床病程。其中10例患者经临床评估明确了诊断，例如：药物过敏、食物过敏、一种奇特的医院成瘾综合征、潜在恶性肿瘤、系统性肥大细胞疾病或补体异常。在其余患者中，发现使用拟交感神经药、抗组胺药和皮质类固醇可使病情稳定。在那些未找到病因的患者中，发作的频率和严重程度通常会自发减轻或自发缓解。无一例死亡。
