Abstract

In 36 asthmatic children 8:00 a.m. plasma cortisol levels were compared with changes in their total eosinophil count (TEC) from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. All children with low cortisol levels had decreases in TEC of less than 2%, whereas 78% of children with normal cortisol levels had decreases greater than 15%. All children with decreases greater than 15% had normal cortisol levels.
