A painter, thirty-seven years old, suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, showed the irritation of skin with high fever by taking PAS. Then I gave him PAS 1 g. and anti-histamine (Allergin-Sankyo) 1 g. daily and gradually increased the dose of PAS. PAS patch test was negative.
Outcome: After desensitization the patient showed no reaction in spite of taking PAS 10 g. daily without anti-histamine.
