title: [The number and kind of leukocytes in the saliva (salivary corpuscles) in healthy subjects and in patients].
abstract: In the form of a survey a report is given on the concept of the saliva corpuscle, its origin, composition, different degree of damage, its number and function. The quantitative behaviour enables a statement to be made about the actual unspecific cellular defence in parodontopathy (increased number of saliva corpuscles) and in various blood diseases (decreased number of saliva corpuscles. This has a particular diagnostic value.
