Induced Sputum for the Investigation of Airway Inflammation: Evidence for Its Clinical Application
Airway inflammation is considered to be the primary cause of airway diseases. Its prevention and reversal are the primary aims of treatment. Measurement of the inflammation is now possible relatively noninvasively and reliably by using induced sputum cell counts. The differential count indicates the...
