Several immunologic measurements were evaluated in 128 asthmatic patients (81 pediatric and 47 adults) in an effort to examine the question of altered cell-mediated immunity in asthmatics. Both pediatric and adult patients showed alterations in some but not all measurements. The results indicate that there are differences among subgroups of asthmatics and in some cases between pediatric and adult patients.
