Granulocyte migration in vivo in patients with atopic bronchial asthma during specific desensitization.
Examination was made of 40 patients suffering from atopic bronchial asthma during specific desensitization using Rebuck's and Southam's methods for testing phagocyte migration in vivo. It was found that specific allergens during specific desensitization caused an increase in phagocyte migration to the skin test site.
