The Bela Schick Memorial Lecture. Toward measurement of success: from diphtheria to allergy
Abstract
Schick's skin test identifies persons immune to diphtheria and those successfully immunized. No test enables comparable judgment of hyposensitization (immunotherapy), long used for treatment of diseases of allergic origin. Efforts made to measure the successful immunologic conquest of diphtheria are compared and contrasted with efforts being made to conquer diseases of allergic origin.
