Delayed psyllium allergy in three nurses.

The use of psyllium has been associated with various allergic reactions. Three nurses at the Prescott Veterans Affairs Medical Center had differing degrees of psyllium allergy. The reactions ranged from sneezing to chest congestion and wheezing. Two nurses were available for skin testing, and both had a positive wheal reaction. Psyllium allergic reactions have been reported rarely in the literature; however, they may be more prevalent than previously realized.

[Antiphlogistic and antipyretic effect of sodium salicylate in rats and rabbits].

Inflammatory processes were provoked in 35 rats by subcutaneous implantation of sterile cotton-wool pads and treated five days by means of various antiphlogistic substances. The action of sodium salicylate (administered alone or in conjunction with gamma-globulin or with glucose) proved similar to that of prednisolone which was given as control substance. Human gamma-globulin exhibited neither anti-inflammatory nor pro-inflammatory effects. Experiments with twelve rabbits revealed that the pyretogenic potential of sodium nucleinate, one per cent (0.01 g/kg body weight) was stronger than that of animal charcoal or peptone. Yet, the two latter substances may be used, as well. The antipyretic effect of sodium salicylate was not as intensive but just as reliable as that of aminophenazone, when both preparations were applied to rabbits with induced fever. Concomitant administration of glucose is recommended to prevent development of undesired side-effects, such as giddiness or ataxia.
