The influence of age on induced sputum differential cell counts in normal subjects.
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Sputum induction is increasingly used as a research technique and as a clinical tool. In order to evaluate abnormal results, normal ranges need to be fully developed. Although a number of studies have described normal ranges, none have investigated the effect of the age of the sub...
