A skin test using buckwheat extract was performed on 182 cases of bronchial asthma. Thirty-three of them showed a positive skin test to buckwheat extract.Buckwheat allergy (bronchial asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, allergic gastroenteropathy and allergic conjunctivities) was found in 19 (57.6%) of the 33 cases showing a positive skin test to buckwheat extract.Basophils from 8 cases of buckwheat asthma showed a strong response to buckwheat extract, although basophils from 10 cases with a postive skin test only, without buckwheat allergy, did not response to buckwheat extract.Bronchial asthma induced by buckwheat (16 of the 19 cases) had some special features. Their asthma attack was induced by the introduction into the body through either mouth or airway and started in childhood. Buckwheat pillows were used in 13 of the 19 cases. Ten of the 13 cases obtained alleviation of asthma upon discontinuation of buckwheat pillows. Most of the buckwheat asthma patients showed a high serum IgE level and had a hereditary factor. The results showed that cases of buckwheat asthma might be sensitized in their childhood.

Allergo-immunologic investigations and examinations of the autonomic nerve system were performed in a case of bronchial asthma with myasthenia gravis. The results were as follows:1) Asthma attacks and blephaloptosis were observed to tend to appear alternately.2) The same trend was shown by administration of mecholyl or other anti-cholinergic drugs and when such drugs were given asthma attacks increased, although blephaloptosis improved.3) Asthma attacks in this patient resembling those of many patients with bronchial asthma were observed mainly in the early morning.4) Allergy examinations showed normal serum IgE level, negative skin reaction tests and no peripheral eosinophilia.These results show that asthma attacks and symptoms of myasthenia gravis seemed to appear alternately in interaction of acetylcholine, showing a see-saw phenomenon and suggest that the autonomic nervous system participates in an induction mechanism or process in asthma.
