The population is pediatric patients diagnosed with asthma treated in the Children's Ward of General Hospital DR. M. Djamil Padang period January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2017. For the analysis of eosinophil relationship with the degree of asthma using Pearson correlation test, with significance p <0.05. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Results : In the two year period, there are 60 patients which are used in the study. The results are 40 patients had low normal peripheral blood eosinophil value 0-1% (66,7%), 15 patients had normal peripheral blood eosinophil value 2-4%(15%), 5 patients had high peripheral blood eosinophil value >4%(8%), and there is 58% patient with atopy. There is no significan correlation of eosinophils peripheral blood cells’s value with severity of asthma (p value 0,057)
Conclusions : Peripheral blood eosinophil value in asthma patient is mostly low normal and there is no correlation of eosinophils peripheral blood cells’s value with severity of asthma
