Is Hay Fever a manifestation of anaphylaxis?A number of workers including Dunbar,1 Koessler,2 Hall,3 Alexander,4 Parker5 and Huber6 support this view; while in direct opposition are listed the findings of Coca,7 Cooke,8 Grove and Coca,9 Black10 and Black and Moore.112. In group reactions of pollens does desensitization...References1 DUNBAR : The Present Status of Our Knowledge of May Fever, J. Hyg., 13: 105, 1913.
