To study the human salivary response in asthma and periodontitis, Ca and P concentrations were determined from parotid and whole saliva. IgE and histamine concentrations and activities of lysozyme and arginine aminopeptidases were assayed from whole saliva. The values were compared with those obtained from matched healthy controls (n = 20 in each group). In whole saliva the P concentrations were elevated in the asthma group and the Ca concentrations in the periodontitis group. Regarding parotid saliva no significant differences between the groups were observed. In patients with asthma the IgE concentrations in whole saliva were elevated, while in patients with periodontitis and in healthy controls no detectable values were obtained. Both histamine and lysozyme concentrations seemed to increase in the asthma and periodontitis groups. A slight increase was also observed in the arginine aminopeptidase activities in the saliva of patients with asthma and patients with periodontitis.
