Sensitivity and specificity of the occlusion pressure method in measuring airway resistance compared to whole body plethysmography, studies within the scope of inhalative provocation tests

129 children and adolescents had 111 bronchial histamine and 85 allergen challenges. Airways resistance measured by the occlusion technique was found to be inferior to the body plethysmography in discriminating children with hyperreactive or allergic airways from healthy children.
