Abstract
Six cases of bronchial asthma with autopsy findings were presented. The majority of the anatomical lesions desc. in asthma were present. Bone marrow studies were desc. in 4 cases, and in 3 of these there was no increase in the eosinophilic myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and leukocytes. In one case there was a large preponderance of eosinophilic myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and leukocytes in the bone marrow, and there was also an acute diffuse myocarditis with tremendous infiltration of eosinophilic leukocytes. This finding appears to be unusual.Keywords
