Efecto de la administración de autonósicos en casos de rinitis alérgica

Abstract

The autonosicos are a therapeutic aid of the Homeopathy used before the weak answer of the ill organism to the administration of drugs, and/or remedies, producing antibodies from the immunological stimulus (Gurrión, 2005). At present the allergic diseases are a problem of public health of great magnitude due to their high prevalence anywhere in the world (Lopez, 2009). Allergic rhinitis is the disease by hypersensitivity type I with greater prevalence, because it affects until 25% of the population (Rutkowska, 2008). Justification: The prescription of autonosicos has been applied empirically in homeopathic practice for allergic cases, but it is not counted on written referential endorsement. Hypothesis: To administer autonosicos in patients with allergic rhinitis will demonstrate the diminution of the clinical symptoms of this condition as well as the serum components of the implied immunological answer. Objective: To determine the clinical effects and the serum alterations of the immune response, associated with autonosicos administration in patients with allergic rhinitis of 6 to 12 years of age. Method: Selected 50 patients with moderate case of allergic rhinitis among 6 and 12 years of age with positive Prick test. They were divided in 2 groups: A, handled with autonosico and B, handled with symptomatic treatment (positive control). Results: After 3 months of treatment and clinical evaluations we observed clinical improvement in both groups, nevertheless more significant in the Group A, the previous related to a diminution of implied immune elements in the allergic reaction (levels of serum eosinophils and specific immunoglobulin E type), which were quantified at the beginning and at the end of the investigation. Conclusion: The diminution of the clinical symptoms of allergic rhinitis was verified, in addition, its relation with the serum components of the implied immunological answer was demonstrated. Perspective: Continue further research on autonosicos in atopic diseases counting on other advanced quantifiable elements and then ratify the information in this research work. As well as increase the groups, size of samples and time of study with pursuit aims.
