    Experimental hemolytic anemia was induced by injecting the mixture of 10 mg sodium phytate and 2% human γ-globulin at the rate of 2 ml per kg into the sensitized rabbits and histopathological changes were investigated in the spleen, the liver, the bone marrow, the kidney and the lung at the time of the most marked anemia. These changes suggested that the allergic anemia might be a hemolytic anemia. Mechanical and osmotic fragilities of erythrocytes did not show any marked changes after the reinjection, and these finding suggested that the anemias would not be caused from these changes. No remarkable immunohematological changes on Phytin-Allergy were observed and the mechanism of anemia on"Phytin-Allergy"could not be demonstrated serologically.

    The authors studied the seasonal variations of the spore counts of air-borne fungi in the Tokyo area by the culture plate method and the incidence of mold sensitivity in asthmatics by skin tests. The most frequently found air-borne fungi were Oospora, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Alternaria and Aspergillus, but as regards the Oospora species identification was uncertain. Cladosporium and Penicillium were abundant in the period from late autumn to winter. Contrary to the above-mentioned molds, Alternaria was abundant in the period from Spring to Summer. Aspergillus increased slightly in Spring and late Autumn. In the asthmatics, the incidences of of positive skin reactions to four mold extracts prepared by the Hollister-Stier Laboratories were: 7.4 percent against Aspergillus and Cladosporium, 12.3 percent against Trichoderma, and 14.8 percent against penicillium. However, 29.6 percent of the asthmatics showed a positive reaction to the skin tests with one or more of the tested mold extracts, and all of these reactions appeared in patients with house dust sensitivity, which correspondend to 37.5 percent of the latter. The positive skin reactions to eight mold and three bacterial extracts prepared by us were also not so frequent and in 0 to 15.3 percent of the asthmatics.

    Clinical mass survey in the rural population was carried out on allergic diseases, mainly bronchial asthma and urticaria. Two sample fields were selected, the one was in a hill region near Tokyo, and the other very near to the sea in Shizuoka Prefecture. Number of the tested was 400 of both sexes (over 20 yrs. old) in the former, and 488 of both sexes (over 6 yrs. old) in the latter. Incidence of asthma in each field was same as 1.2% and half of the asthmatic patients had healed completely in their childhood. Incidence of urticaria including even mild cases was about 10% in each field, and was slightly higher in female than male. Concerning heredity, all asthmatic patients detected had positive family history of allergic disease. The same was found in 70% of urticarial patients. When one of the parents suffered from asthma or urticaria, occurance of these diseases in their children was 80%. Main provocative causes were the common cold in asthma, and foods (particularly fishes) and cold stress in urticaria. All the test subjects were asked for unspecific symptoms and signs minutely, because even patients detected were almost free of symptoms of asthma and/or urticaria at the time of survey. Such symptoms and signs as fatigue, getting common cold easily, coated tongue (a sign of stomach disorder) and abdominal pain were observed more frequently in the group of patients with asthma and/or urticaria. Low blood pressure was observed also more frequently in this group. But no differences were found in hemoglobin level, electro-cardiography and urine examination compared with the control. Slender figure was observed more frequently in the male patients with asthma and/or urticaria. Skin sensitivity to histamine was higher in the group of patients with asthma and/or urticaria than the control. Meanwhile, the percentage of eosinophilic cells in blood and the cholinesterase activity in serum in the group of asthma and/or urticaria showed no abnormal shift compared with that of the control.

    Leucocytes removed from guinea pigs sensitized with adjuvant-added Escherichia coli 0-13 were acted upon the antigen of Shigella flexneri 2b having O antigen in common with the sensitizing strain and also upon the antigen of Shigella sonnei having no common antigen as the control. As the result, tissue culture type test of leucocytes was found to be positive in the former case and negative in the latter. The delayed cross allergic reaction between E. coli and Sh. flex. having O antigen in common was demonstrated by these tissue culture type tests of leucocytes.
