title: Oral corticosteroids and histamine releasability of basophil granulocytes.
abstract: The influence of oral corticosteroid therapy (7.5 and 15 mg prednisolon/day for 8 days) on basophil releasability by antigens was investigated in a series of 16 patients with chronic obstructive airway disease. A significantly smaller histamine release was observed after the treatment. Different types of releasing curves were observed which mostly persisted after treatment.
