His researches attracted the attention of certain official organizations, and the Academy of Medicine has bestowed on him the Simont prize. Haibe's investigations show that in most cases of bronchial asthma a hemolytic streptococcus must be incriminated. He made the remarkable discovery that subjects with bronchial asthma show a marked susceptibility to products of the streptococcus—much greater than that of normal subjects or of persons not affected with bronchial asthma. This heightened susceptibility is revealed by the intradermal reaction, which, in such subjects, causes the appearance of a very apparent congestive zone. Under these conditions, vaccinotherapy was formally indicated, it being anticipated that this treatment would have the effect of checking the multiplication of the streptococcus, of diminishing the susceptibility to the products of that micro-organism, and of exerting a favorable influence
