title: [Comparison of salivary with serum levels of retard theophylline under steady-state conditions].
abstract: In 86 asthmatic children, the theophylline levels in the serum and saliva were compared. A pronounced (r = 0.95) and statistically highly significant (p less than 0.001) relationship was observed to exist between the theophylline concentrations in serum and saliva.
