Thirty-two patients were classified into three groups according to steroid therapy for the past five years; group 1 has been treated with continuous steroid therapy, group 2 with occasional steroid therapy and group 3 without steroid therapy. The results were as follows. 1. Group 1 showed a low level of serum cortisol at 8-9 a. m. The serum concentration of cortisol in patients with daily steroid regimen was lower as compared to that in patients with alternateday steroid therapy. 2. The daily profile of serum cortisol was low in the steroid dependent asthmatic patients, and little increase of serum cortisol level after the administration of prednisolone was shown in group 1. 3. Serum IgG and IgM levels were significantly low in steroid dependent asthmatic patients. 4. The level of serum potassium was low in group 1. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SudoMichiyasu en-aut-sei=Sudo en-aut-mei=Michiyasu kn-aut-name=周藤真康 kn-aut-sei=周藤 kn-aut-mei=真康 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KomagoeHaruki en-aut-sei=Komagoe en-aut-mei=Haruki kn-aut-name=駒越春樹 kn-aut-sei=駒越 kn-aut-mei=春樹 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MurashimaMakoto en-aut-sei=Murashima en-aut-mei=Makoto kn-aut-name=村嶋誠 kn-aut-sei=村嶋 kn-aut-mei=誠 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkadaChiharu en-aut-sei=Okada en-aut-mei=Chiharu kn-aut-name=岡田千春 kn-aut-sei=岡田 kn-aut-mei=千春 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanisakiYoshiro en-aut-sei=Tanisaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=谷崎勝朗 kn-aut-sei=谷崎 kn-aut-mei=勝朗 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorinagaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Morinaga en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name=森永寛 kn-aut-sei=森永 kn-aut-mei=寛 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShiotaYutaro en-aut-sei=Shiota en-aut-mei=Yutaro kn-aut-name=塩田雄太郎 kn-aut-sei=塩田 kn-aut-mei=雄太郎 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KimuraIkuro en-aut-sei=Kimura en-aut-mei=Ikuro kn-aut-name=木村郁郎 kn-aut-sei=木村 kn-aut-mei=郁郎 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二内科 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二内科 END
