title: Mucosal petechiometry: a reliable method for the measurement of capillary resistance.
abstract: The method of mucosal petechiometry, as described by Kozam (1968), was investigated and found to be a valid technique for investigating capillary resistance. Recommendations are made on the use of this technique as a research method.
