Blood Adrenocorticotrophin in Children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Abstract
The oxycellulose technic for the isolation of ACTH was applied to the analysis of blood in children. ACTH was not present in detectable quantities in the blood of afebrile children without endocrine disease. ACTH was present in the blood of untreated, but not in cortisone-treated, children with adrenogenital syndrome.
