We first present a global simulation model describing inhibition of human basophil degranulation by means of high dilutions. Then we study an optimal control problem associated to a non-linear compartmental model. This control is associated to an antigen concentration. For solving this control problem we used a dynamic programming method.
Serum histamine levels are significantly lowered in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Treatment with zidovudine has no effect on histaminaemia, but HIV-positive patients with thrombocytopenic purpura who underwent splenectomy are known to have had a rise in serum histamine levels after the operation. This parameter might be used as prognostic factor in the evaluation of patients with HIV infection.
