Abstract
The clinical picture of Spring catarrh was studied in 96 cases. The duration of the disease was found to be 3.5 .+-. 2.6 yr. It exists all year round with a higher frequency between April and Aug. Male children were affected about 3 times more frequently than females. The effect of DSCG [disodium chromoglycate] was studied in 20 cases. It had a significant therapeutic effect. A combined DSCG and corticosteroid treatment is advised in the period of exacerbation.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
