Dr. Bertram W. Carnow, Associate Professor and Head of the Section of Environmental Health in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, the University of Illinois School of Medicine: A 30-year-old white woman with chronic asthma was admitted to a Chicago hospital on Nov 5, 1969, because of a mass in the right ovary. At the time of admission the patient was free of respiratory symptoms. To control her asthma the patient was using daily isoproterenol-saline aerosol therapy, ephedrine, and aminophylline. The asthma had been associated with recurrent bronchitis since childhood. During puberty she had been free of respiratory symptoms, but asthmatic episodes recurred following a nasal polypectomy at age 17 years. From that time to the present the patient has had many severe episodes of asthma with and without bronchitis, two episodes of bronchopneumonia, and in the past four years has been hospitalized 11 times in status asthmaticus.
