RESUMEN
We studied two groups of pregnant women: 30 asthmatic and 20 non- asthmatic ones (as control), within a eleven-month period. We filled clinical data with inclusion and exclusion criteria for our investigation. We performed tests for determination of E, G, A and M immunoglobulins; and spontaneous rosettes tests and lymphocytic CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations, as well. We found high IgE levels in the asthmatic pregnant women, in each pregnancy quarter. In relation to IgG and IgA we found a diminishing tendency from the beginning to the end of pregnancy, with statistical meaning, in beth groups of women. We didn't get significant variations for IgM, spontaneous rosettes and lymphocytic CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations levels, in any of the two pregnant groups, in any of three pregnancy quarters, in our investigation.

We performed a study of all patients with Central Serous Choroiditis that were attended in Ophthalmology consultation, both on ambulatory and emergency services, as well as in Allergy-Ophthalmology inter-consultations at the Provincial Educational Hospital "Saturnino Lora" in Santiago de Cuba, from January 1982 until July 1984. These patients were divided in two groups: A and B; the former was treated with suppression and challenge diets, and with antihistaminic drugs: the latter with conventional therapeutic agents. We established several criteria for the evaluation of results as: Good, Fair and Bad. We followed a similar procedure in evaluating the inflammatory state of the eye fundus as Discreet, Moderate and Severe. With the first evaluation of treatment at 15 days, we observed greater improvement in patients from group A than with patients from group B.
