[Therapy and prevention of chronic respiratory tract diseases].

Abstract

196 patients suffering from chronic infections of the respiratory tract (bronchial asthma, spastic bronchitis, sinobronchitis, increased liability to infections during childhood) were treated with non-specific hyposensitization by Paspat as no improvements had been obtained with other methods. The patients were observed for at least one year after the termination of the therapy: Recovery in 62,2%, clear improvements in 23% of the cases; only 14,8% did not respond. The author can now rely on a total of 466 cases, who have been treated by this method for 21 years. The results obtained after the childhood were significantly improved by modifying the treatment and the remedies and by increasing the numbers of injections. Consequently, repeated applications of Paspat for treating and preventing chronic infections of the respiratory tract are considered a real progress.
