Description
Summary:A study was carried out to determine whether a correlation exists between a high incidence of allergy and infantile pyloric stenosis, The incidence of allergy diagnosed by a physician among 20 post-pyloromyotomy patients was determined, and was compared with the incidence of allergy among their siblings and among a matched group of 20 post-hemiorrhaphy patients. The results show no significant difference in the incidence of allergy among the small groups studied.
