Wolff-Eisner1in 1905. Since that time numerous workers have noted both the fundamental similarities and the apparent differences between these reactions. The similarities may be stated in general terms as follows: In both instances reactions are produced by substances which may or may not have any inherent toxicity; the reactions occur in sensitive or susceptible individuals; the severity of the reaction depends more upon the degree of that susceptibility than upon either the inherent toxicity or the dose of the substance producing it; and...Bibliography1.
