[SHF-thermography in allergic diseases].

The results of combined clinical allergologic study and SHF thermography in patients with pollenosis, chronic asthmatic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, continuous and seasonal allergic rhinitis and normal controls are reported. Patients with pulmonary disorders showed a reduction by 1 degree C in mean deep temperature around the lungs, and a sevenfold increase in deep temperature dispersion, as compared to the controls. Patients with pollenosis showed a reduction of deep temperatures by 1.

[New method of diagnosis of drug hypersensitivity of the delayed type--the scarificaiton-film test].

An original method for diagnosis of drug allergy, i.e. a scarification-film test (SFT) in 2 variants has been worked out for the first itme on the basis of examination of 241 persons and is recommended for use.

[Possibility of the intrauterine sensitization to benzylpenicillin and ampicillin in Syrian hamsters].

Immunization of Syrian female hamsters with benzylpenicillin and ampicillin resulted in positive skin reactions of the retarded type and decreased titers of the blood antihistamine factor (AHF) in a part of the posterity. Penicillin allergy was in particular observed in the posterity of the female hamsters immunited before the pregnancy. The state of allergy to penicillins was found in the posterity of the female hamsters with both the positive and negative skin reactions on immunization during the 2nd half of the pregnancy.

[Intrauterine sensitization to benzylpenicillin in an experiment on rabbits].

Antibodies of benzylpenicillin in the posterity of various ages of female rabbits were found with reaction of passive hemagglutination (RPHA) and degranulation of the basophiles after their immunization with the antibiotic. This provided an assumption of intrauterine sensitization. Treatment of the sera of the sensitized animals with 2-mercaptoethanol partially decreased their activity in the RPHA which indicated to the presence of the antibodies of classes IgG and IgM.
