The kinetics of platelets labeled with indium-111 were investigated in 13 healthy subjects as well as in 9 patients in the asymptomatic interattack stage of asthma. The survival times of platelets in healthy subjects was 8.9 +/- 1 days; in asthmatic subjects it was 4.7 +/- 1.3 days (p less than 0.001). The survival curve is of a biexponential form in asthmatics, thus suggesting the presence of 2 populations: one with a short life span (23 +/- 7 h), representing a third of the total population (33 +/- 9%), and the other with a normal life span. No single preferred site of platelet sequestration was found. These results suggest the presence of functional or anatomic lesions of platelets in asthmatic patients, which can be explained only hypothetically at the present time.
