Microscopic analysis and quality assessment of induced sputum from children with pneumonia in the PERCH study
<h4>Background</h4> <p>It is standard practice for laboratories to assess the cellular quality of expectorated sputum specimens to check that they originated from the lower respiratory tract. The presence of low numbers of squamous epithelial cells (SECs) and high numbers of polym...
