[False intrinsic asthma of infancy].

Abstract

A case of asthma in an infant child from a family already showed inability to tolerate cow milk and which only responded when such food was discontinued. The study concerns: a. The diagnostic methods of the disease; b. The relationship between the IPLV and hypotrophy that was perceptible in the infant child, a hypotrophy that was revealed in the course of the evolution of the disease. Finally, a study of the documents on the pathogenic processes enabled us to locate the observation involved to half-way between IgE dependent cases and those other cases that produce delayed hypersensitivity.
