Abstract
A 10 yr old asthmatic boy suffered from urticarial rash and moderately severe bronchospasm after 8 wks'' treatment with disodium cromoglycate [DSCG]. Initially, DSCG helped in controlling the attacks and steroid therapy was discontinued. Inhalation provocation test with DSCG aerosol, 4 mo. after stopping DSCG treatment, showed an immediate-type 1 allergic response and urticaria. A repeat provocation test, under antihistaminic cover, failed to produce similar response. When DSCG was withdrawn, urtcaria and other symptoms vanished. DSCG is regarded as the possible etiological agent.
