Gb. Fedoseev et al., THE EFFECT OF ABSOLUTE DIET THERAPY ON DR UG TOLERANCE IN BRONCHIAL-ASTHMA PATIENTS, Terapevticeskij arhiv, 68(8), 1996, pp. 28-31
In 10 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) treated conventionally (cont
rol group), 10 BA patients on absolute diet therapy (group 1) and 10 B
A patients on absolute diet therapy combined with wheat herb juice (gr
oup 2) tolerance to 12 antibiotics of different classes and some immun
ity factors were determined using a complex of diagnostic methods. The
latter implies: case history, humoral and cell immunity defense syste
m tests and special tests (chemical erythrograms and leukocyte migrati
on inhibition test in plane capillary tubes with tested drugs). The da
ta obtained evidence for increased tolerance of the antibiotics in gro
ups 1 and 2 as well as for changes in humoral defense system, especial
ly in immunoglobulin E. The drug tolerance may be a therapeutic criter
ion of absolute diet therapy in bronchial asthma patients.
