Basophilic Leucocytes in Children in Health and Disease

Basophil and Eosinophil Leukocytes in Various Internal Disorders

“…The increased basophil count found in myxoedema and the decreased count in thyrotoxicosis are in agreement with those of earlier investigators (7,9,14,15,21,22,31,34). The same is true of the baso-phi1 percentage found in pernicious anaemia (1).…”

Histamine and 5-Hydroxytryptamine in the Blood of Infants and Children

“…The basophil and eosinophil counts in the 15 children all fell within the normal range and the mean counts did not differ significantly from those found in 67 other healthy children (16). Figure 1 indicates that there is a close relationship between the number of basophils and the histamine content of the blood.…”

“…In every instance the potassium was within the normal range. Basophils and eos ¶nophils were counted by the method of Moore and James (14), with the modifications previously described (15,16).…”

Normal Variation in the Count of Circulating Basophil Leucocytes in Man

“…James, Wright, Wilkersson & Schellenberg (1955) found a higher basophil count in newborn than in older children. In a material of children between 6 months and 12 years of age the mean value was higher than at six weeks after birth, but the difference was not significant (Mitchell 1958;Mitchell &iCass 1959). Then an increase started, which continued for six weeks.…”
