Abstract
Patients with unilateral lung involvement were evaluated with Lateral Position Test (LPT).The severity of disease was quantitatively measured. This is the spirometric test which to a large extent accurately measures the percentage of differential ventilation of each lung. The paper discusses the method and its merits.
