    Abstract:
    After a short review of the mode of action of sodium chromoglycate, the results are presented, of the treatment carried out over a three months period in a group of 31 patients of which 23 had bronchial asthma and 8 had spastic bronchitis. In 19 cases the doses of steroids that the patients were receiving were either diminished or supressed, in 14 cases the doses of broncho-dilating drugs were diminished or supressed and in 15 cases the results of the respiratory function tests were improved or much improved. A synthetic evaluation of the clinical and laboratory results showed that in 3/4 of the cases (74.2%) these were either favourable or very favourable. The treatment was well tolerated and no side-effects were noted.
