Image of ABC of Asthma (4th edition)

This comprehensive fourth edition has been extensively revised and up-dated to include the latest British Thoracic Society guidelines on the management of asthma which define a number of steps or levels of treatment. Initially there was a perception that patients should work up through the steps until control was achieved. The latest version makes it clear that entry should be at a step likely to gain control with a subsequent reduction when stable. The book includes new chapters on leukotriene antagonists and long acting beta agonists, as well as revised sections on genetics, pathophysiology and education of asthma care. Other major topics include organisation of asthma care, prognosis, management of adolescents and infant asthma. It is an essential text for general practitioners, medical students, nurses and anyone dealing with the treatment of asthma, in both adults and children.
