Abstract
Asthma is an important and increasingly prevalent respiratory disease. Its proper diagnosis and treatment lie at the heart of improving asthma outcome. Unfortunately, asthma has many faces and is affected by many variables, many of them difficult to control. Like many chronic illnesses, asthma tends to affect the poor and less advantaged individuals in society. Heightened awareness among patients and physicians of the serious nature of the disease is needed to reduce the morbidity and mortality of asthma. Treatment clearly requires a multifaceted approach, including behavioral, environmental, social, and medical interventions, in which the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program guidelines provide a logical, step-wise, and effective approach.
