title: Circadian variations in immune values and serum melatonin in asthmatics.
abstract: Circadian variations in the immune status and serum melatonin were studied in asthmatics during exacerbation stage before and after treatment. Deviations from the normal (donor) immunogram values at 9.00 and 21.00 and decreased correlations between immune values and blood melatonin level were detected. The correlations of immune values between each other and with melatonin over the circadian cycle increased after treatment.
