title: Local immunotherapy for chronic respiratory allergic pathology with allergen aerosols. II. Treatment of bronchial asthma.
abstract: Efficacy of hyposensitization of patients suffering from different forms of bronchial asthma caused by bacterial, house dust and epidermal allergens was studied. Allergens were delivered to the mucous membrane of bronchi with the help of aerosol inhalers on a schedule worked out by the author. The results of treatment with this method were compared to the results in the group of patients treated by the routine method of intradermal or subcutaneous injections of allergens. There were demonstrated advantages of the method of projecting allergens directly on to the shock organ, which proved more effective and less reactogenic.
