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.
对36名哮喘儿童上午8点的血浆皮质醇水平与上午8点至9点30分期间其嗜酸性粒细胞总数（TEC）的变化进行了比较。所有皮质醇水平低的儿童TEC下降幅度小于2%，而皮质醇水平正常的儿童中有78%的下降幅度大于15%。所有下降幅度大于15%的儿童皮质醇水平均正常。
