It has been successfully applied for assessing airway inflammation in asthma Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, producing reliable results comparable to Correspondence to Elizabeth Fireman, PhD, Institute of biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage. Induced sputum research in the field of Pulmonary and Allergic Diseases, Tel Aviv Sourasky occupational medicine has mainly focused upon occupational asthma, and less to other Medical Center, 6 Weizman Street, Tel Aviv 64239, Israel types of occupational diseases.
