title: [Protection against laryngotracheobronchial obstruction and anaphylaxis with ketotifen and DSCG (disodium chromoglycate) in patients with food allergy].
abstract: The authors studied in 30 allergic children to foods the protection of fall of spirometric flow (FEV1) after food challenge, caused by ketotifen and DSCG. The first showed a greater number of total protection = 60% in comparison with DSCG = 53.3%. The supply of both drugs at the same time showed a great amplification of protective action: total protection 73.3%, partial 20%; amount of two protections = 93.3%.
