HAY FEVER AMONG JAPANESE: PART I

HAY FEVER AMONG JAPANESE: PART I Abstract A number of leading otolaryngologists in Japan, Korea and Manchuria have stated in personal communications that hay fever is practically unknown among the natives. On American soil, however, where hay fever is endemic, it appears to develop in the same racial stock. During the past five years I have seen and treated scores of Japanese patients with hay fever in Southern California, in both private and dispensary practice.
