Abstract:
An aspirin test has been performed in 100 asthma patients. The response of the bronchi appeared contradictory: aspirin asthma on the one hand, and bronchodilatation on the other occurred in 31 and 28 patients, respectively; 41 patients appeared nonresponders. Maximum effect of the drug was noted in the small bronchi. Desensitization to aspirin and hemosorption reduced asthma patients sensitivity to nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs.
