Intravenous aminophylline therapy for asthma. A comparison of two methods of administration in children.

Eleven asthmatic children were given intravenous aminophylline by two methods of administration: a 6 mg/kg loading dose followed by a 1.4 mg/kg/hr continuous infusion, or a bolus of 4 mg/kg given every four hours. Expiratory flow rates (forced expiratory volume at 1 s and expiratory flow at 50% of vital capacity) were recorded at intervals for 24 hours with each regimen. Although the intermittent administration of aminophylline produced a substantial improvement, there was a significantly greater pulmonary response to continuous infusion.

Monovalent influenza A/New Jersey/76 virus vaccines in asthmatic children: pulmonary function and skin tests for allergy.

Eighty-eight asthmatic children aged six to 16 years received monovalent influenza A/New Jersey/76 virus vaccines. Forty-one of these children were given skin tests for allergy to eggs and vaccines, and 57 were given pulmonary function tests before and after immunization. Only four children reacted to the vaccines in the skin tests, with three of these children reacting to only one of four test preparations. Only two of the four children showed a correlation between reactivity to vaccine and allergy to egg antigens. No significant changes in pulmonary function were demonstrated.
