Abstract
Sodium and chlorine concentrations in mixed saliva were simultaneously measured by neutron activation analysis in nine normal children and in nine patients with cystic fibrosis. Sodium levels showed a significant difference (P < 0.01) between patients and control. The concentration of chlorine was similar in both the control and the cystic fibrosis groups.
