[Prophylaxis of immediate and delayed reactions in exogenic allergic bronchial asthma (author's transl)]. 1978

X Baur, and A Thiel

In 14 antigen provocation tests in 12 patients with allergic bronchial asthma, an immediate bronchoconstriction could be demonstrated by whole body plethysmography and a delayed reaction in 6 other cases. The examinations were repeated after a single prophylactic application of 40 mg disodium cromoglicate. By this means, 10 of the 14 immediate reactions and 4 of the 6 delayed reactions could be completely or largely prevented; in 4 and 2 patients respectively the protective effect was unsatisfactory. In longterm experiments over 4--6 months an improvement in the findings was recorded in 9 of the 12 patients. A rare side-effect of disodium cromologlicate therapy is irritation of the respiratory tract, in some cases with not inconsiderable respiratory obstruction.

D006969 Hypersensitivity, Immediate Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D004205 Cromolyn Sodium A chromone complex that acts by inhibiting the release of chemical mediators from sensitized MAST CELLS. It is used in the prophylactic treatment of both allergic and exercise-induced asthma, but does not affect an established asthmatic attack.
