Summary A double blind controlled trial of a house mile fortified house dust vaccine was carried out in forty-two asthmatic patients between the ages of 6 and 15 years. Improvement in height and weight was shown in eight of twenty-one children receiving the active therapy compared with one of twenty-one children receiving placebo injections. No difference between the two groups was shown by respiratory function testing or chest examination.
