  • Title: Asthma in primary care.
    Author: Usta J, Mroueh S.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 2001; 49(5):284-7. PubMed ID: 12243423.
    Abstract:
    Asthma is a chronic disease that cannot be cured but can be effectively controlled. Control is achieved through education of the patient, monitoring of symptoms and pulmonary functions, environmental modification and pharmacologic therapy. The latter should aim at providing control with the least amount of medications. Any form of asthma more severe than mild intermittent requires the use of long term anti-inflammatory medications.
