Abstract

A case of extreme hypersensitiveness to heat is described. The outstanding features were: (1) Exposure of the chest to heat from an ordinary forty-watt desk lamp at a distance of one and one-half feet for thirty seconds invariably produced an attack of asthma. (2) An ice bag invariably relieved attacks in three or four minutes or less. (3) The patient was promptly desensitized to heat by foreign protein shocks from typhoid vaccine intravenously.
