Sensitivity and specificity of PC20 and peak expiratory flow rate in cedar asthma

TL;DR: The diagnosis of red cedar asthma is usually confirmed by a specific challenge with plicatic acid, the compound responsible for the disease, but the sensitivity and specificity of two other diagnostic tests, prolonged recording expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and measurement of bronchial responsiveness, were not determined.
