Gold salt in the treatment of bronchial asthma--a double-blind study
Ann Allergy.
1978 Feb.
Abstract
The efficacy of gold salt on bronchial asthma was investigated by double-blind design in 79 patients. The rate of improvement was significantly higher in the gold-treated group (20/28) than in the controls (16/36). This was reflected by greater reduction of requirement for symptomatic medications. Only mild side effects were observed in 14 patients out of 38 gold-treated patients.
