Several clinical reports suggest allergy as a causative or associated factor in the etiology of Ménière's Disease or endolymphatic hydrops. The A.A.O.O. subcommittee reported in 1972 its criteria for a therapeutic improvement in Ménière's Disease. This important report allows for clinical studies to proceed in a scientific manner using the subcommittee's criteria to evaluate the results. In an ongoing study utilizing a double-blind crossover technique, fourteen Ménière's patients have been evaluated for allergies utilizing the Rinlde and Lee techniques for inhalent and food allergies. Several cases directly relate their symptoms to specific food in-gestion and were given challenge food tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
