Abstract
Basophil counts were done in children with rheumatoid arthritis, using a special staining method. Basophils were increased in absolute number and in percentage in 11 of 16 patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This increase was particularly significant in children with active polyarticular arthritis.
