[Circulating immunologic complexes in blood sera of bronchial asthma patients treated with attenuated vaccine]

The study included 20 patients (8 males and 12 females) with non-atopic bronchial asthma treated with attenuated vaccines. Circulating immune complexes were assayed with two methods prior to and after the treatment of each patient. No increase in serum circulating immune complexes was produced after the treatment. Clinical improvement was noted in 75% of treated patients. Circulating immune complexes were detected in the blood serum of three patients treated without an effect.
