Predictive value of pulmonary function testing during pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis.

abstract：:The reliability and predictive value of salivary theophylline levels was investigated in 58 children who were treated with oral sustained-release theophylline preparations for bronchial asthma. Serum and saliva levels were assessed by fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA), and Seralyzer (reagent strip reflectan...
