The topics chosen for discussion represent the most common problems
referred by family doctors to chest clinics. It was taken for
granted that the reader will be familiar with the symptoms, signs,
and natural history of respiratory diseases, so that the stress is
on differential diagnosis and treatment. Tuberculosis once occupied
nearly all the time of chest physicians. At present weeks go by
without a single case presenting itself. There has been no
comparable improvement in cancer of the lung, which remains one of
the most intract able problems. Asthma was seldom referred to
out-patient clinics when the disease was regarded as more
unpleasant than dangerous. The hazards of severe attacks and the
advan tages of liaison with a hospital department are now widely
recognized. A similar change of attitude to the management of
chronic bronchitis brought many new patients to the chest clinics
in place of the vanishing tuberculous population. Some uncommon
pulmonary diseases are included: allergic alveolitis, because of
the importance of early diagnosis, and sarcoidosis in order to
discourage unnecessary treatment. The book is intended to be a
practical guide and is not a critical review. This might serve as
an excuse for its didactic style and the exclusion of controversial
subjects. Some statements are repeated at more than one place in
order to help readers who wish to consult individual chapters
bearing on some current problem. Source references are omitted and
are replaced by a short list of books recommended for further
reading."
