Resource Type

Book

Description

"This book is an overview of childhood asthma, focusing on pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment along with sections dealing with interrelated conditions that may affect asthma. This is the second edition. Since the first edition was published in 1987, there have been many novel developments in our understanding of asthma and factors that may contribute to this respiratory disease. The authors seek to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information in a field where many new developments have occurred. This book successfully meets their objectives. The targeted audience consists of allergists and physicians who care for children with asthma. This book is also appropriate for fellows-in-training in allergy/immunology. The general use of illustrations is appropriate, and most are clearly presented. The tables are well organized and informative."--Jacqueline Pongracic(barnesandnoble.com)
