Study of Therapy and Methods of Prophylaxis in Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.11 Vol.11】
An investigation into methods of prophylaxis and for therapy in five exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIAn) patients is described.
Detailed medical histories and provocation test results proved most important in diagnosis. Not all patients, however, presented symptoms at provocation tests. Specific elimination of the offending food before and after exercise is effective in food-dependent EIAn patients. Although modification of exercise is the most effective prophylactic method in food-independent cases, symptoms often appear following even mild exercise in severe cases receiving anti-histamine and anti-allergic drugs. A case which improved after removal of amalgam in dental caries and a case which responded to NaHCO₃ are also described.
