Especially noticeable is the absence of what is spoken of in the French literature as anaphylactic phenomena secondary to effort. It is the purpose of this paper to report such a case. Although it is admittedly an uncommon and not often recognized condition, one should be cognizant of its existence as one of the unusual types of physical allergy.CASE REPORTA 22 year old white male was admitted to Ireland Army Hospital, Fort Knox, Kentucky,...Bibliography1.
