THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INFECTION IN ALLERGIC DISEASE-Its Influence on Diagnosis and Management.

California Medicine
R Bookman, R S Shapiro

Abstract

The presence of infection in allergic disease produces a confused picture in which two different causative factors must be clearly separated by the physician if he is to treat the patient successfully. The effects of infection are not consistent. There are situations, as seen in infectious diseases, where symptoms of allergic disease are temporarily relieved and others where the infection may intensify or precipitate the allergic condition. It is likewise important to recognize the complications superimposed upon allergic disease by infection. In such cases, control of the infection is as dependent upon control of the allergy as it is upon antibiotics.
