[evaluation of adrenal cortical function using salivary cortisol measurements in children with bronchial asthma].

CONCLUSION: Salivary cortisol levels were positively correlated with plasma cortisol levels in pediatric asthmatic patients. This is a useful method for frequently monitoring young children with adrenal dysfunction or severe asthma that are treated with high doses of inhaled corticosteroids.
