  Asthma can be a distressing condition for all sufferers and their families. It can vary from mild and intermittent to severe and persistent, and it is potentially fatal. Worldwide, asthma and allied allergic disorders are increasing in incidence and possibly in severity. The primary care physician plays a pivotal role in making a diagnosis of asthma and proving the correct treatment. Well-informed primary care personnel can therefore mean the difference between a relatively normal life and one of considerable misery for people with asthma. Fast Facts - Asthma, written by two internationally recognised experts, has been fully updated for the second edition, and bases its recommendations on the revised Workshop Report of the Global Initiative for Asthma. This book will prove invaluable to all healthcare professionals wishing to improve the lies of those affected by the disorder.
