A concise, practical guide to the diagnosis, treatment and
management of common allergy and asthma conditions in primary care.
Allergy and asthma represent some of the most common chronic
conditions presenting in primary care. Furthermore, up to 20% of
patients with allergies struggle on a daily basis with the fear of
anaphylactic shock or an asthma attack. This book guides readers
through the basic immunology and pathophysiology and then provides
details on all aspects of the clinical assessment of allergic
patients: History-taking Clinical examination Investigations and
imaging A broad range of allergies is then presented with succinct
clinical advice detailing the causes, diagnosis and treatment of
each allergy in turn. Asthma is covered separately using the latest
asthma guidelines to describe the risk factors, stratification, and
accurate diagnosis. This is followed by a concise presentation of
asthma management and monitoring in primary care. The book
concludes with the pressing issue of childhood allergy, and
highlights the investigations, assessment and treatments specific
to allergy and asthma in children. This is the ideal clinical text
for GPs, medical students and nurse practitioners looking to manage
common allergies and asthma, and for those looking for
decision-making support when considering onward referral.
