What Can Be Diagnosed with PFT?

Pulmonary functioning tests (PFTs) constitute a wide range of assessments designed to evaluate the functionality of your lungs. Typically, PFTs are requested when you exhibit symptoms like breathlessness, wheezing, or coughing. PFTs are instrumental in identifying conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and more.

What Is the Difference between Prick and Patch Tests?

Allergy skin testing is done with one of two methods, either a prick or a patch test. Prick testing is often the initial type of allergy test to see whether someone is allergic to food, pollen, dander, medications, or a bee sting. Patch testing is a different form of allergy testing employed to evaluate contact dermatitis.
