Treatment of allergy to house dust with pyridine-extracted alum-precipitated extracts of the house dust mite.
Two preliminary trials in which patients with respiratory allergy to the house dust mite were treated with pyridine-extracted alum-precipitated extracts of house dust mites are described. In the first, using an extract of D. farinae, twenty-two of twenty-eight asthmatic patients improved. In the second, using an extract of D. pteronyssinus, fifteen of eighteen asthmatic patients improved.
