Correlation of Absolute Basophil and Eosinophil Counts in Blood From Institutionalized Human Subjects

Abstract
Basophil and eosinophil counts were made by the use of counting chamber methods on capillary blood withdrawn between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. from 35 human subjects institutionalized with convulsive disorder. In the absence of stimulation other than daily routine, and at this habitual time of daily cyclic eosinopenia, a statistically significant correlation was noted between blood basophils and eosinophils.
