Changes of basophil leucocyte counts of the peripheral blood in bronchial asthma were investigated mainly by our improved method of Kovacs. The results are as follows. 1) The basophils in bronchial asthma generally show a higher count than in healthy controls. 2) During the interval of repeated asthmatic attacks the basophil count is higher than in the asymptomatic period. 3) Particularly in an episode of asthmatic attack, the basopils increase immediately before the attack and decrease to the normal level or lower after the attack has begun. 4) During asthmatic attacks it may be possible to expect a next attack, if the basophil count again tends to increase from the previous low count. 5) This counting method of basophils is easy enough for the routine examination like caluculation of peripheral leucocytes. 6) Observation of the changes of peripheral basophils appers to be a useful laboratory aid for the diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of bronchial asthma, making possible an early detection of the future attack.
