It is the purpose of this report to call to the attention of the medical profession that a bronchial infection from Candida albicans can provoke asthmatic manifestations of hypersensitivity, and that the bronchial infection and the asthmatic symptoms can apparently be cured by the persistent use of an aerosol of sodium caprylate.The use ofCandidaas the generic name of this yeastlike fungus to replace the familiar, but invalid,Moniliacannot be justified by priority or frequent past...Bibliography1.
