[Value of histocytological examinations of the nasal mucosa in pollinosis].

Cytogramme analyses have been made on the nasal mucosae of 100 patients affected with pollinosis. Ten of the cases had a histocytological examination during the season and also during winter. In the period of symptom upsurge neutrophil cytogrammes were seen in 31% of patients, 30% had eosinophils and the remainder had eosinophils and neutrophils. Basophils were seen in the cytogrammes from 38 patients (mean 4 to 15%). In those patients where the cytogrammes were eosinophils and neutrophils and the titre of basophils was below 15%, Lomusol, Beconase and hyposensitisation were found to be effective, in contrast to those in whom the cytogrammes had more than 70% of eosinophils or more than 15% basophils.

Bronchial asthma and pathological processes in the nasopharynx. I. Clinical analysis during remission and attack.

In 54 patients with bronchial asthma and a control group of 15 subjects laryngological, bacteriological and cytological examinations of the nasopharynx were performed. This region was found to be inflamed in 38% of the patients with asthma; in a group of asthmatic patients hypersensitive to aspirin, the percentage rose to 87%. In the asthmatic patients, as compared with the control group, there was a diminished neutrophilic exudate, a marked epithelial desquamation reaction and an abundant lymphocyticosinophilic exudate in a considerable percentage of cases.
