Abstract
Treatment of four mastocytosis patients with the mast cell stabilising drugs, disodium cromoglycate and ketotifen failed to alter significantly the urinary excretion levels of histamine or N.tau.-methylimidazole acetic acid. No clinical improvement was noted in any subject after treatment by either drug.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
